RYR1 Sequence Variants in Myopathies: Expression and Functional Studies in Two Families

The skeletal muscle ryanodine receptor (RyR1), i.e., the Ca2+ channel of the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum (S/ER), and the voltage-dependent calcium channel Cav1.1 are the principal channels involved in excitation-contraction coupling in skeletal muscle. RYR1 gene variants are linked to distinct skele...
