Role of Calcium Permeation in Dihydropyridine Receptor Function: Insights into Channel Gating and Excitation–Contraction Coupling

The skeletal and cardiac muscle dihydropyridine receptors (DHPRs) differ with respect to their rates of channel activation and in the means by which they control Ca2+ release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (Adams, B.A., and K.G. Beam. 1990. FASEB J. 4:2809–2816). We have examined the functional pro...
