Protein kinase C activity in rat skeletal muscle. Apparent relation to body weight and muscle growth.

abstract：:Six chimeras of the skeletal muscle (RyR1) and cardiac muscle (RyR2) Ca(2+) release channels (ryanodine receptors) previously used to identify RyR1 dihydropyridine receptor interactions [Nakai et al. (1998) J. Biol. Chem. 273, 13403] were expressed in HEK293 cells to assess their Ca(2+) dependence in [(3)H]ryanodine b...
