Abstract
In intact contracting myocytes, the cytosolic free Ca²⁺ concentration ([Ca²⁺]free) varies dynamically and is determined by the sarcolemmal and trans-sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca²⁺ fluxes, the binding kinetics to Ca²⁺ ligands in the cytosol (Ca²⁺ buffering), and, to a lesser extent, by mitochondrial Ca²⁺ fluxes (Shannon and Bers, 2004; Bers, 2001). Major Ca²⁺ binding ligands are the myofilament protein Troponin C (TnC; about 50% of fast Ca²⁺ binding during a typical heartbeat), the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca²⁺ ATPase (SERCA), and binding sites along the sarcolemmal membrane which remain to be identified (Bers, 2001; Fabiato, 1983). Additional Ca²⁺ is bound by slow Ca²⁺ buffering sites (Shannon and Bers, 2004). However, these high-affinity Ca²⁺/Mg²⁺ binding sites are largely saturated with Mg²⁺ during diastole (Robertson et al., 1981). Other high-capacity, low-affinity buffers (e.g., ATP, creatine phosphate) in aggregate also significantly contribute to Ca²⁺ buffering (Bers, 2001).
