Elevations of intracellular calcium reflect normal voltage-dependent behavior, and not constitutive activity, of voltage-dependent calcium channels in gastrointestinal and vascular smooth muscle (2009)

McCarron, John G., Olson, M., Currie, S., Wright, A., Anderson, Kurt I., Girkin, J.M.

In smooth muscle, the gating of dihydropyridine-sensitive Ca2+ channels may either be stochastic and voltage dependent or coordinated among channels and constitutively active. Each form of gating has...

IP3R-mediated Ca2+ release is modulated by anandamide in isolated cardiac nuclei (2008)

Currie, S., Rainbow, R., Ewart, Marie-Ann, Kitson, Susan, Pliego, Esperanza Herradon, Kane, K.A., ...

Cannabinoids (CBs) are known to alter coronary vascular tone and cardiac performance. They also exhibit cardioprotective properties, particularly in their ability to limit the damage produced by...

Interaction of calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase IIδC with sorcin indirectly modulates ryanodine receptor function in cardiac myocytes (2007)

Currie, S., Anthony, D.F., Beattie, J., Paul, A.

Calcium/calmodulin dependent protein kinase II delta C (CaMKIIδC) and the EF-hand Ca2+-binding protein, sorcin have both been shown to regulate the excitation-contraction coupling process. This...

Na+/Ca2+ exchanger expression and function in a rabbit model of myocardial infarction (2006)

Smith, G.L., Elliot, E.E.B., Kettlewell, S., Currie, S., Quinn, F.R.

In general, sarcolemmal Na+/Ca2+ exchanger (NCX) protein and activity is increased in hearts with ventricular dysfunction. However, in a subset of studies, reduced activity of NCX has been reported....
