Abstract excerpt
Ion channels are critical to life and respond rapidly to stimuli to evoke physiological responses. Calcium influx into heart muscle occurs through the ion conducting α1C subunit (Cav1.2) of the L-type Ca(2+) channel. Glutathionylation of Cav1.2 results in increased calcium influx and is evident in ischemic human heart. However controversy exists as to whether direct modification of Cav1.2 is responsible for...
