Abstract excerpt
Cardiac Ca2+ release channels, type-2 ryanodine receptors (RyR2s), play a pivotal role in cardiac muscle contraction by releasing Ca2+ from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. Over 200 missense mutations in humans have been reported to be associated with cardiac diseases. Here, we characterize three RyR2 variants, Q3925E, W4646R, and Q4937K. Q3925E and W4646R mutations are in the Ca2+- and caffeine-binding sites,...
