Abstract: Abstract The sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) of striated muscle plays an important role in control of contractile activity, providing an intracellular sink for calcium during relaxation, and a source for calcium release on membrane excitation. SR and excitation-contraction coupling have been the subjects of several detailed reviews (Tada et al., 1978; DeMeis and Vianna, 1979; Inesi, 1979; Martonosi, 1972; Hasselbach, 1964; MacLennan and Holland, 1975; Weber, 1966; Ebashi and Endo, 1968; Fuchs, 1974; Fabiato and Fabiato, 1979; Endo, 1977; Caputo, 1978). This chapter contains a general description of the system, and is then focused on selected findings that are used to support the author’s views on the mechanisms of calcium uptake and calcium release.
