Role of the Sarcoplasmic Reticulum in Smooth Muscle
Smooth muscle contraction is a vital component of the functioning of blood vessels, the uterus, airways and the bladder. Its malfunction can lead to serious pathological conditions, such as hypertension and pre-term labour. The calcium ion plays a central role in its function, increasing in concentration for contraction and decreasing for relaxation. The source of calcium is through entry across the surface membrane and release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). However, recent data have challenged the view that the SR is simply a source and sink of calcium ions. Indeed, the SR probably also acts to limit contraction, via ion channel-based…
