Abstract excerpt
Calmodulin (CaM) modulates the activity of several proteins that play a key role in excitation-contraction coupling (ECC). In cardiac muscle, the major binding partner of CaM is the type-2 ryanodine receptor (RyR2) and altered CaM binding contributes to defects in sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) calcium (Ca2+) release. Many genetic studies have reported a series of CaM missense mutations in patients with a history of...
