May alter Ca2+ handling selectively at high loads in SERCA2b mice; leaves open translation to human HF or isoform-targeted therapies.
In SERCA2b/b mice, the higher Ca2+ affinity of the SERCA2b isoform partially compensates for reduced expression, impairing Ca2+ uptake only at higher Ca2+ loads.
Antoons et al. (2003) studied this question.
