Dynamic distribution of ryanodine receptors in cardiac muscles

The focus of this thesis is to address the location and distribution of the type 2 Ryanodine Receptor (RyR2) in mammalian cardiac myocytes with respect to their function. These integral membrane proteins function as Ca²⁺-activated Ca²⁺ ion channels as well as a scaffold for a large number of signali...
