Its malfunction can lead to serious pathological conditions, such as hypertension and pre-term labour. The calcium ion plays a central role in smooth muscle function, increasing in concentration for contraction and decreasing for relaxation. Calcium entry into the cell is facilitated by the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). This book explores the latest research on the role of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) in smooth muscle function. It examines the control and modulation of tNovartis Foundation symposium ;246.Smooth muscleCongressesSarcoplasmic reticulumCongressesElectronic books.Smooth muscleSarcoplasmic reticulum571.6/5611.0186Chadwick Derek91632Goode Jamie283336Novartis Foundation.Symposium on Role of the Sarcoplasmic Reticulum in Smooth Muscle(2001 :Novartis Foundation)MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910143168203321Role of the sarcoplasmic reticulum in smooth muscle2246835UNINA
