Functional studies of Ca2+ channels from plasmalemma and sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes in muscle cells.
1990
: Physiological and biochemical studies (channel characteristics, intracellular Ca2+ determinations and, channel purification, cloning and expression) of the different components involved in the regulation of intercellular Ca2+ have provided new information about their specific role. Recent information favors a major role for plasmalemma Ca2+ channels in E-C coupling of cardiac muscle, while a major role for sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ release channels (ryanodine receptors) is proposed for E-C coupling of skeletal muscle. In smooth muscle, both plasmalemma and sarcoplasmic reticulum (IP3 receptors) Ca2+ channels are involved in E-C coupling. These studies will be comparatively discussed for skeletal, cardiac and smooth muscle cells.
