Abstract excerpt
Facilitation of cardiac function in response to signals from the sympathetic nervous system is initiated by the phosphorylation of L-type voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels (VDCCs) by protein kinase A (PKA), which in turn is activated by β-adrenoceptors. Among the five subunits (α1, β, α2/δ, and γ) of VDCCs, the α1 subunit and the family of β subunits are substrates for PKA-catalyzed phosphorylation; however, the...
