X Abstract

The solubilized [3H]ryanodine receptor from cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum was centrifuged through linear sucrose gradients. A single peak of radioactivity with apparent sedimentation coefficient of approximately 30S specifically comigrated with a high molecular weight protein of apparent relative molecular mass approximately 400,000. Incorporation of the ryanodine receptor into lipid bilayers induced single Ca2+ channel currents with conductance and kinetic behavior almost identical to that of native cardiac Ca2+ release channels. These results suggest that the cardiac ryanodine receptor comprises the Ca2+ release channel involved in excitation-contraction coupling in cardiac muscle.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
