Muscle-specific functions of ryanodine receptor channels in Caenorhabditis elegans.

Journal of cell science - 1 Oct 1998

Maryon E B, Saari B, Anderson P

Abstract excerpt

Ryanodine receptor channels regulate contraction of striated muscle by gating the release of calcium ions from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. Ryanodine receptors are expressed in excitable and non-excitable cells of numerous species, including the nematode C. elegans. Unlike vertebrates, which have...
