ryanodine receptor 2

ryanodine receptor 2

A membrane calcium-channel receptor encoded by RYR2 on chromosome 1q43, which is found in cardiac muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum and required for excitation-contraction coupling in cardiac muscle.

Function
Responsible for communication between transverse-tubules (T-tubules) and sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), resulting in cardiac muscle contraction triggered by Ca2+ release from SR following T-tubule depolarization.

Abnormal in
Stress-induced polymorphic ventricular tachycardia and arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia.

Background: Calcium regulatory proteins-L-type Ca[sup]2+ channels (LTCCs), ryanodine receptor 2 (RyR2), and Na[sup]+/Ca[sup]2+ exchanger isoform 1 (NCX1) have been recognized as important protective mechanisms during myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (I/RI).
Calcium regulatory proteins are mainly composed of L-type Ca[sup]2+ channels (LTCCs), ryanodine receptor 2 (RyR2), and Na[sup]+/Ca[sup]2+ exchanger (NCX).
Missense variants in the cardiac ryanodine receptor encoding the ryanodine receptor 2 (RYR2) gene are detected in approximately 50% of CPVT probands (17-19).
