Hypothesis-generating for RyR2 in bladder dysfunction; no clinical implications until human validation.
Does RyR2 deficiency alter excitation-contraction coupling and membrane potential in urinary bladder smooth muscle cells?
RyR2 plays a crucial role in regulating calcium-induced calcium release during excitation-contraction coupling and resting membrane potential in urinary bladder smooth muscle cells.
Hotta et al. (2007) studied this question.
