Abstract excerpt
In response to excitation of skeletal muscle fibers, trains of action potentials induce changes in the configuration of the dihydropyridine receptor (DHPR) anchored in the tubular membrane which opens the Ca2+ release channel in the sarcoplasmic reticulum membrane. The DHPR also functions as a voltage-gated Ca2+ channel that conducts L-type Ca2+ currents routinely recorded in mammalian muscle fibers, which role...
