Abstract: | Phosphatidate (PA) inhibits calcium accumulation by cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) and enhances its Ca++ ATPase activity. These effects seem to be related to a phosphatidate-induced increase in the calcium permeability of the SR membrane with resultant calcium release. The amount of calcium released by phosphatidate is dependent both on the calcium concentration outside the SR vesicles and the internal calcium concentration. The ionophoric effects of phosphatidate on the sarcoplasmic membrane provide a novel pathway for controlling Ca++ transport in the cardiac cell. |
