Journal ArticleDOI
Calcium Ion in Skeletal Muscle: Its Crucial Role for Muscle Function, Plasticity, and Disease
TL;DR: Functional alterations of Ca(2+) handling seem to be responsible for the pathophysiological conditions seen in dystrophinopathies, Brody's disease, and malignant hyperthermia, which underline the importance of the affected molecules for correct muscle performance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Calcium release and ionic changes in the sarcoplasmic reticulum of tetanized muscle: an electron-probe study.
TL;DR: The unchanged distribution of a permeant anion, chloride, argues against the existence of a large and sustained transSR potential during tetanus, if the chloride permeability of the in situ SR is as high as suggested by measurements on fractionated SR.
Journal ArticleDOI
The time-course of Ca2+ exchange with calmodulin, troponin, parvalbumin, and myosin in response to transient increases in Ca2+.
TL;DR: Analysis of the time-course of Ca2+ binding to calmodulin, troponin, parvalbumin, and myosin in response to trains of transient increases in the free myoplasmic calcium ion concentration suggests that in vivo only about one-half to one-third of the total steady-state myofibrillar Ca2-binding capacity exchanges Ca1+ during any single transient.
Journal ArticleDOI
'New' functions for 'old' proteins: the role of the calcium-binding proteins calbindin D-28k, calretinin and parvalbumin, in cerebellar physiology. Studies with knockout mice.
TL;DR: Analysis of different brain regions suggests that these proteins are involved in regulating calcium pools critical for synaptic plasticity, and a major role of any of these three calcium-binding proteins as an endogenous neuroprotectant is not generally supported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Parvalbumin, and intracellular calcium-binding protein; distribution, properties and possible roles in mammalian cells
TL;DR: The biochemical properties of parvalbumin from mammalian muscle and nonmuscle cells are summarized, its cellular distribution is described and its physiological function is explored.
