Abstract excerpt
Adrenaline acts on β1 receptors in the heart muscle to enhance contractility, increase the heart rate, and increase the rate of relaxation (lusitropy) via activation of the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, PKA. Phosphorylation of serines 22 and 23 in the N-terminal peptide of cardiac troponin I is responsible for lusitropy. Mutations associated with cardiomyopathy suppress the phosphorylation-dependent...
