The multifunctional Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) regulates a rich variety of downstream targets in heart. Ca(2+) homeostatic proteins are important CaMKII targets that support myocardial excitation-contraction coupling. Under stress conditions, excessive CaMKII activity promotes heart failure and arrhythmias, in part through actions at Ca(2+) homeostatic proteins. Here, we briefly review the molecular and cellular physiology of CaMKII in myocardium.
多功能的钙/钙调蛋白依赖性蛋白激酶II(CaMKII)调节心脏中多种下游靶点。钙稳态蛋白是支持心肌兴奋-收缩偶联的重要CaMKII靶点。在应激条件下,过量的CaMKII活性会促进心力衰竭和心律失常,部分原因是其作用于钙稳态蛋白。在此,我们简要综述心肌中CaMKII的分子和细胞生理学。
