role of the Na+/Ca2+ exchangers in Ca2+ dynamics in ventricular myocytes

AA Sher‚ PJ Noble‚ R. Hinch‚ DJ Gavaghan and D. Noble

Abstract

The role of the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger (NCX) as the main pathway for Ca2+ extrusion from ventricular myocytes is well established. However, both the role of the Ca2+ entry mode of NCX in regulating local Ca2+ dynamics and the role or the Ca2+ exit mode during the majority of the physiological action potential (AP) are subjects of controversy. The functional significance of NCXs location in T-tubules and potential co-l
