Abstract excerpt
The type 2 ryanodine receptor (RyR2) is a sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ release channel that plays a central role in cardiac excitation-contraction coupling. Abnormal activity of the RyR2 is linked to abnormal Ca2+ signaling in cardiac cells, which often results in cardiac arrhythmias. For example, amino acid mutations in RyR2 have been reported to cause various types of arrhythmias, including catecholaminergic...
