Abstract excerpt
In skeletal muscle, excitation-contraction (EC) coupling is the process whereby the voltage-gated dihydropyridine receptor (DHPR) located on the transverse tubules activates calcium release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum by activating ryanodine receptor (RyR1) Ca(2+) channels located on the terminal cisternae. This subcellular membrane specialization is necessary for proper intracellular signaling and any...
