Junctin and triadin are calsequestrin-binding proteins that regulate sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca(2+) release by interacting with the ryanodine receptor. The levels of these proteins are significantly down-regulated in failing human hearts. However, the significance of such decreases is currently unknown. Here, we addressed the functional role of these accessory proteins in the heart's responses to ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury.
