Abstract excerpt
The sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase isoform 2 (SERCA2) gene encodes both SERCA2a, the cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ pump, and SERCA2b, which is expressed in all tissues. To gain a better understanding of the physiological functions of SERCA2, we used gene targeting to develop a mou...
