Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Enhanced inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (InsP3R2) expression has been associated with a variety of proarrhythmogenic cardiac disorders. The functional interaction between the two major Ca2+ release mechanisms in cardiomyocytes, Ca2+ release mediated by ryanodine receptors (RyR2s) and InsP3-induced intracellular Ca2+ release (IP3ICR) remains enigmatic. We aimed at identifying characterizing local...
