PROARRHYTHMIC DEFECTS IN TIMOTHY SYNDROME REQUIRE CALMODULIN KINASE II

Ca2+ activated signaling pathways coordinate contraction in the heart, but these pathways cause disease upon excessive activation. Intracellular Ca2+ activates the multifunctional Ca2+ and calmodulin dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) and activated CaMKII increases Ca2+ entry, by a feed-forward pr...
