Peptide and protein modulation of local Ca2+ release events in permeabilized skeletal muscle fibers

Local discrete elevations in myoplasmic Ca2+ (Ca2+ sparks) arise from the opening of a small group of RyRs. Summation of a large number of Ca2+ sparks gives rise to the whole cell Ca2+ transient necessary for muscle contraction. Unlike sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicle preparations and isolated single...
