Control of dual isoforms of Ca2+ release channels in muscle

Here we compare excitation-contraction coupling in single muscle cells of frogs and rats. Because amphibians have isoform 3 (or b) of the ryanodine receptor/Ca2+ release channel, in addition to 1 (a), which is also present in the mammal, any extra feature present in the frog may in principle be attr...
