Caveolae Regulation of Mechanosensitive Channel Function in Myotubes

Mutations that lead to muscular dystrophy often create deficiencies in cytoskeletal support of the muscle sarcolemma causing hyperactive mechanosensitive cation channel (MSC) activity and elevated intracellular Ca2+. Caveolae are cholesterol-rich microdomains that form mechanically deformable invagi...
