Abstract excerpt
KEY POINTS: The Ca2+ -desensitizing D73N mutation in slow skeletal/cardiac troponin C caused dilatated cardiomyopathy in mice, but the consequences of this mutation in skeletal muscle were not known. The D73N mutation led to a rightward shift in the force versus pCa (-log [Ca]) relationship in slow-twitch mouse fibres. The D73N mutation led to a rightward shift in the force-stimulation frequency relationship and...
