The Distinct Roles of Calmodulin and Calmodulin Kinase II in the Reversal of Run-Down of L-Type Ca2+ Channels in Guinea-Pig Ventricular Myocytes

In this study, we investigated the roles of calmodulin kinase II (CaMKII) and calmodulin (CaM) in the reversal of run-down of L-type Ca2+ channels. Single Ca2+-channel activities in guinea-pig ventricular myocytes were recorded using the patch-clamp technique, and run-down of the channel activities...
