Dihydropyridine receptor
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The dihydropyridine receptor (DHPR) is a voltage-dependent calcium channel found in the transverse tubule of muscles. In skeletal muscle it associates with the ryanodine receptors of the sarcoplasmic reticulum to induce calcium release and thus muscle contraction.
