Use of Calcium Pump Inhibitors in the Study of Calcium Regulation in Smooth Muscle
Abstract
The study of the relative roles of the plasma membrane (PM) and the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ pumps in the regulation of internal Ca2+ has been limited in the past due in part to the lack of selective inhibitors for either Ca2+ pump. Recently, three compounds have been discovered which appear to be selective SR Ca2+ pump inhibitors: thapsigargin (TSG), cyclopiazonic acid (CPA), and 2,5-di-(tert-butyl)-1,4-benzohydroquinone. Contractility …
