Figure 1.
Pathways involved in cardiac cellular calcium cycling. The schematic shows part of a ventricular myocyte including transverse (T) tubules. From left to right, the sarcolemma contains sodium-calcium exchange (NCX); L-type Ca channel (LTCC); transient receptor potential (TRP) channels; connexin hemichannels; Na-K pump; Na channel; PMCA (plasma membrane Ca-ATPase); Orai. The sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) contains ryanodine receptor (RyR); SR Ca-ATPase (SERCA) and its regulatory protein, PLN (phospholamban); STIM1 (stromal interaction molecule 1).
