MeSH definition : A tetrameric calcium release channel in the SARCOPLASMIC RETICULUM membrane of SMOOTH
MUSCLE CELLS, acting oppositely to SARCOPLASMIC RETICULUM CALCIUM-TRANSPORTING ATPASES.
It is important in skeletal and cardiac excitation-contraction coupling and studied
by using RYANODINE. Abnormalities are implicated in CARDIAC ARRHYTHMIAS and MUSCULAR
DISEASES.;
