Calcium Exchangeability in Frog Sartorius Muscle during Potassium Depolarization

Nature volume 205, pages 1221–1222 (1965)Cite this article

Abstract

THE release of calcium from the membrane or from endoplasmic reticulum is regarded as the main process in the mechanism provoking muscle contraction. The system of membrane control of contractile activity in the fast muscle fibers has several properties for which similar terminology was proposed as for the membrane control of Na conductance1. In this work some properties of the Ca-releasing system were examined by using 45Ca and the results are discussed in terms of membrane control of Na conductance.
