Sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ pump in pig coronary artery smooth muscle is regulated by a novel pathway
Abstract
Coronary artery smooth muscle expresses an alternative splice (SERCA2b) of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ pump gene SERCA2, which is also expressed in cardiac muscle (SERCA2a), but how the activity of this transporter is regulated in the coronary artery is not known. SERCA2a in the cardiac muscle can be regulated via phospholamban or, as recently reported, by a direct phosphorylation of this protein by calmodulin kinase (Xu, A., C. …
