Absence of Ca2+ current facilitation in skeletal muscle of transgenic mice lacking the type 1 ryanodine receptor.

Abstract excerpt

1. Whole-cell patch-clamp recordings were used to study voltage-dependent facilitation of Ca2+ currents and excessive Ca2+ tail current in skeletal myoballs cultured from wild-type and transgenic mice expressing a null mutation of the ryanodine receptor (RyR) type 1 (dyspedic myoballs). 2. Ca2+ current density in dyspedic myoballs was reduced by about 60% compared with wild-type cells, with...
