SERCA2a tyrosine nitration coincides with impairments in maximal SERCA activity in left ventricles from tafazzin deficient mice
(The Physiological Society, 2019-08)
The sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA) is imperative for normal cardiac function regulating both muscle relaxation and contractility. SERCA2a is the predominant isoform in cardiac muscles and is inhibited by ...
A Low-Therapeutic Dose of Lithium Inhibits GSK3 and Enhances Myoblast Fusion in C2C12 Cells
(MDPI, 2019)
Glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3) slows myogenic differentiation and myoblast fusion partly by inhibiting the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. Lithium, a common medication for bipolar disorder, inhibits GSK3 via Mg+ ...
Calmodulin-Binding Proteins in Muscle: A Minireview on Nuclear Receptor Interacting Protein, Neurogranin, and Growth-Associated Protein 43
(MDPI, 2020)
Calmodulin (CaM) is an important Ca2+-sensing protein with numerous downstream targets that are either CaM-dependant or CaM-regulated. In muscle, CaM-dependent proteins, which are critical regulators of dynamic Ca2+ handling ...
