Ca 2+ current (L-type) and inward current caused by Ca 2+ release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum and carried by electrogenic Na+/Ca 2+ exchange have been measured in cultured atrial myocytes from hearts of adult guinea-pigs using whole-cell voltage clamp techniques. The pipette solution, used for i

Ca2+ release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) of mammalian cardiac myocytes occurring either due to activation by a depolarization or the resulting transmembrane Ca2+ current (ICa), or spontaneously due to Ca2+ overload has been shown to cause inward current(s) at negative membrane potentials. I
The positive inotropic effects of thyroid hormone in the heart, increased force and velocity of contraction have been mostly attributed to modulation of myosin ATPase isoenzymes (V1, V2 and V3), and sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ pumping activity. In addition, we have suggested that the effects on vent
Galactosyl receptor, a cell surface Ca(2+)-dependent lectin with binding affinity for galactose, was evaluated by immunoblotting, immunoprecipitation, Northern blotting, and immunocytochemistry in human liver, testis, and sperm. Polyclonal antisera raised against the minor asialoglycoprotein recepto
