Background:
The protein encoded by this gene is found as a pentamer and is a major substrate for the cAMP-dependent protein kinase in cardiac muscle. The encoded protein is an inhibitor of cardiac muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca (2+) -ATPase in the unphosphorylated state , but inhibition is relieved upon phosphorylation of the protein. The subsequent activation of the Ca (2+) pump leads to enhanced muscle relaxation rates , thereby contributing to the inotropic response elicited in heart by beta-agonists. The encoded protein is a key regulator of cardiac diastolic function. Mutations in this gene are a cause of inherited human dilated cardiomyopathy with refractory congestive heart failure , and also familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
