The Ca2+ influx through the mammalian skeletal muscle dihydropyridine receptor is irrelevant for muscle performance
In mammalian skeletal muscle, the DHPR functions as a voltage sensor to trigger muscle contraction and as a Ca2+ channel. Here the authors show that mice where Ca2+ influx through the DHPR is eliminated display no difference in skeletal muscle function, suggesting that the Ca2+ influx through this c...
