The myocardial cell surface glycocalyx, particularly sialic acid, is essential for regulating calcium permeability and excitation-contraction coupling.
G. A. Langer (1978) conducted a review in Myocardial cell surface structure and function. The myocardial cell surface glycocalyx, rich in sialic acid, plays a critical role in regulating sarcolemmal calcium permeability and excitation-contraction coupling.
