Supports SR Ca-ATPase sufficiency for skeletal relaxation; hypothesis-generating for cardiac Ca2+ kinetics.
The in situ pumping of the SR Ca-ATPase is sufficiently high to account for the rate of relaxation from a tetanus, with Ca2+ return likely rate-limited by its off-rate from parvalbumin.
Somlyo et al. (1985) studied this question.
