Sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR): A specialised network of membranes in muscle fibres responsible for the storage, release, and reuptake of Ca2+ during contraction and relaxation.

Relation between myocardial function and expression of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase in failing and nonfailing human myocardium. Circ Res 1994; 75 : 434–442. Article CAS PubMed Google Scholar ...

It mediates calcium release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum, a calcium-storing organelle in muscle cells, a process vital for muscle function. Mutations in the RyR1 gene can affect the channel’s ...

Ameliorated stress related proteins are associated with improved cardiac function by sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase gene transfer in heart failure, Journal of Geriatric Cardiology, 9, 3 ...

This in turn sparks off a more massive calcium ion release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) calcium ion storage complex, through other channels, the SR-calcium ion release channel. These are ...

This calcium activates another ion channel called ryanodine receptor (RyR1 in muscle cells) which releases even more calcium stored inside the sarcoplasmic reticulum to the cytoplasm of the cell.

Calcium-uptake and ATPase studies carried out on fragmented sarcoplasmic reticulum from muscle of patients with Duchenne dystrophy showed low initial and total calcium uptake, low ATPase activity a ...

How Cells Function: Missing Target For Calcium Signaling Identified Date: April 29, 2009 Source: Ohio State University Medical Center Summary: Researchers can now describe one of the missing ...

Sarcoplasmic reticulum ... It has been widely acknowledged that SERCA2a is essential for maintaining cardiomyocyte calcium homeostasis and cardiac function, ... More on this News Release.

With each heartbeat, calcium is released from intracellular stores known as the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), through specialised channels called ryanodine receptors (RyR2). The normal trigger for this ...
