Regulation of cardiac excitation-contraction coupling by sorcin, a novel modulator of ryanodine receptors
Activation of Ca2+ release channels/ryanodine receptors (RyR) by the inward Ca2+ current (I Ca) gives rise to Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release (CICR), the amplifying Ca2+ signaling mechanism that triggers contraction of the heart. CICR, in theory, is a high-gain, self-regenerating process, but an unidentif...
