Little is known about the function of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP3Rs) in the adult heart experimentally. Moreover, whether these Ca(2+) release channels are present and play a critical role in human cardiomyocytes remains to be defined. IP3Rs may be activated after Gαq-protein-coupled receptor stimulation, affecting Ca(2+) cycling, enhancing myocyte performance, and potentially favoring an increase in the incidence of arrhythmias.
