Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Heart muscle contraction is regulated via the β-adrenergic response that leads to phosphorylation of Troponin I (TnI) at Ser22/23, which changes the Ca(2+) sensitivity of the cardiac myofilament. Mutations in thin filament proteins that cause dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and some mutations that cause hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) abolish the relationship between TnI phosphorylation and Ca(2+)...
