Abstract excerpt
Malignant hyperthermia (MH) susceptibility has been recently linked to a novel variant of β1a subunit of the dihydropyridine receptor (DHPR), a channel essential for Ca2+ regulation in skeletal muscle. Here we evaluate the effect of the mutant variant V156A on the structure/function of DHPR β1a subunit and assess its role on Ca2+ metabolism of cultured myotubes. Using differential scanning fluorimetry, we show...
