The calcium stored in the sarcoplasmic reticulum acts as a safety mechanism in rainbow trout heart
Cardiomyocyte contraction depends on rapid changes in intracellular Ca2+. In mammals, Ca2+ influx as L-type Ca2+ current (ICa) triggers the release of Ca2+ from sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) and Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release (CICR) is critical for excitation-contraction coupling. In fish, the relative con...
