The ability to modify the intracellular concentrations of divalent calcium ions is vital to normal cell functioning. In the cells of the cardiac muscle, calcium ions play a crucial role in coupling ...

The mechanism of skeletal muscle contraction is a process that relies on calcium signaling. However, the physiological role of calcium-induced calcium release (CICR) through the ryanodine receptor ...

L-type Ca²⁺ currents determine the shape of cardiac action potentials (AP) and the magnitude of the myoplasmic Ca²⁺ signal, which regulates the contraction force. The auxiliary Ca²⁺ channel subunits ...
