L-type Ca 2+ channel contributes to alterations in mitochondrial calcium handling in the mdx ventricular myocyte

The L-type Ca 2+ channel is the main route for calcium entry into cardiac myocytes, and it is essential for contraction. Alterations in whole cell L-type Ca 2+ channel current and Ca 2+ homeostasis have been implicated in the development of cardiomyopathies. Cytoskeletal proteins can influence whole...
