mortality/aging
• homozygotes are alive at E17.5 but die by P1
|
muscle
• skeletal muscle is dysmorphic
|
• myofibrillar disorganization and internalized nuclei with atypical shapes are seen
|
• an increased range of skeletal muscle fiber diameters is seen
|
• electrically invoked and caffeine-induced Ca2+ release from sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles is reduced in isolated myotubes; however, resting intracellular Ca2+ are not increased
• in isolated myotubes the magnitude of L-type Ca2+ currents and voltage-gated Ca2+ release are reduced and shifted towards more hyperpolarized potentials
|
homeostasis/metabolism
skeleton
• wavy caudal ribs
|
• the rib cage is compressed longitudinally and enlarged dorsal-ventrally
