Ryanodine Receptor 2 (RYR2) Antibody, Abbexa, abx000677

RYR2 Antibody is a Rabbit Polyclonal antibody against RYR2. RYR2 belongs to the ryanodine receptor family. RYR2 provides communication between transverse-tubules and sarcoplasmic reticulum. Contraction of cardiac muscle is triggered by release of calcium ions from SR following depolarization of T-tubules. Defects in RYR2 are the cause of familial arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia type 2 (ARVD2) which known as arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy 2 (ARVC2). Defects in RYR2 are the cause of catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia type 1 (CPVT1) which known as stress-induced polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (VTSIP). This gene encodes a ryanodine receptor found in cardiac muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum. The encoded protein is one of the components of a calcium channel, composed of a tetramer of the ryanodine receptor proteins and a tetramer of FK506 binding protein 1B proteins, that supplies calcium to cardiac muscle. Mutations in this gene are associated with stress-induced polymorphic ventricular tachycardia and arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].
