Ca2+ release from skeletal sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) could be regulated by at least three mechanisms: 1) Ca2+, 2) calmodulin, and 3) Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent phosphorylation. Bell-shaped Ca(2+)-dependence of Ca2+ release from both actively- and passively-loaded SR vesicles suggest that opening an

Ryanodine is a neutral plant alkaloid which functions as a probe for an intracellular Ca2+ release channel (ryanodine receptor) in excitable tissues. Using [3H]ryanodine, a 30 S protein complex comprised of four polypeptides of Mr 565,000 has been isolated and functionally reconstituted into planar
Rapid mixing-vesicle ion flux and planar lipid bilayer-single channel measurements have shown that a high-conductance, ligand-gated Ca2+ release channel is present in 'heavy', junctional-derived membrane fractions of skeletal and cardiac muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum. Using the release channel-speci
