The Role of Sarcolipin in Calcium Handling and Obesity
Sarcolipin (SLN), a small molecular weight, hydrophobic protein found in skeletal muscle, is a known regulator of sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase (SERCA) pumps. Earlier in vitro reconstitution experiments have shown that SLN uncouples ATP hydrolysis from Ca2+ transport by the SERCA pumps a...
