Thomas Ostwald and David MacLennan were characterizing proteins that bind to calcium in the sarcoplasmic reticulum — a specialized type of endoplasmic reticulum found in muscle cells.

Skeletal muscle contraction is activated through voltage dependent release of Ca2+ from the intracellular storage location, the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) through ryanodine receptors (RyR). Ca2+ ...

Sarcolipin (sln) and Sarcoplasmic Reticulum calcium ATPase pump (serca1) expression increase in Japanese medaka (Oryzias latipes) skeletal muscle tissue following cold challenge. Daily thermal ...

Transmission electron micrographs of myocardial biopsies from two of these individuals and three imatinib-treated mice demonstrated membrane whorls in vacuoles and the sarcoplasmic reticulum ...
