Comparison of the structure and function of phospholamban and the arginine-14 deficient mutant associated with dilated cardiomyopathy.

Phospholamban (PLB) is a pentameric protein that plays an important role in regulating cardiac contractility via a reversible inhibitory association with the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ATPase (SERCA), the enzyme responsible for maintaining correct calcium homeostasis. Here we study the functional an...
