Abstract excerpt
Airway remodeling and exacerbated airway narrowing in asthma have been attributed to the regulation of intracellular Ca(2+) by sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) of the airway smooth muscle cells. The protein encoded by obscurin, cytoskeletal calmodulin and titin-interacting RhoGEF (OBSCN) is a crucial factor in determining the SR architecture in Obscn(-/-) mice. This study genotyped a total of 55 common...
