Target Information

The junction between the transverse tubules (T-tubules) and the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) of skeletal muscle is called the triad. At the triad, dihydropyridine receptors (DHPRs) of the T-tubule serve as voltage sensors in excitation-contraction coupling, while ryanodine receptors (RyRs), the calcium release channels, exist in the membrane of the terminal cisternae of the SR. It is thought that during slow phase depolarization of the T-tubule, a third protein, triadin (MW 95 kDa), transmits electrochemical signals to the SR through direct interaction with both DHPRs and RyRs. Though its exact role in this signaling process is unclear, triadin has been shown to co-localize with both DHPR and RyR at the junctional face of the terminal cisternae.
