Lumenal sites and C terminus accessibility of the skeletal muscle calcium release channel (ryanodine receptor).

Journal Article The Journal of biological chemistry · May 1995 The membrane topology of the skeletal muscle ryanodine receptor (RyR1) was investigated using site-directed antibodies directed against amino acid sequences 2804-2930, 4581-4640, 4860-4886, and 4941-5037. Ab(2804-2930) bound with identical affinity to eith ... Full text Cite
