What is the biggest difference between skeletal and cardiac DHP receptors? In both skeletal and cardiac muscle, the dihydropyridine (DHP) receptor is a critical element in excitation-contraction (e-c) coupling. In contrast, in skeletal muscle the DHP receptor functions as a voltage sensor and as a slowly-activating calcium channel; in this case, the voltage sensor controls […]
