Voltage-dependent modulation of cardiac ryanodine receptors (RyR2) by protamine.

It has been reported that protamine (>10 microg/ml) blocks single skeletal RyR1 channels and inhibits RyR1-mediated Ca2+ release from sarcoplasmic reticulum microsomes. We extended these studies to cardiac RyR2 reconstituted into planar lipid bilayers. We found that protamine (0.02-20 microg/ml)...
