  • Title: Calcium-transporters in myocardial cells.
    Author: Subramani S, Subbanna PK.
    Journal: Indian J Physiol Pharmacol; 2006; 50(2):99-113. PubMed ID: 17051729.
    Abstract:
    This is a concise review of important calcium-transporters on the sarcolemma and organellar membranes of myocardial cells, and their functional roles in cell physiology. It briefly addresses L and T type calcium channels, store-operated calcium channel (SOC), sodium-calcium exchanger (NCX), and the plasma membrane calcium ATPase (PMCA) on the sarcolemma, ryanodine receptor (RyR), IP3 receptor (IP3R) and the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) calcium ATPase (SAERCA) on the SR membrane and their contributions to contraction and rhythm-generation. Several agonists and blockers for every transporter that are commonly used in research, and those with therapeutic applications have also been discussed.
