Published: June 2015

The ryanodine receptor/Ca2+ release channel plays a pivotal role in skeletal and cardiac muscle excitation-contraction coupling. Defective regulation leads to neuromuscular disorders and arrhythmogenic cardiac disease. This mini-review focuses on channel regulation through structural intra- and inter-subunit interactions and their implications in ryanodine receptor pathophysiology.
