Membranes prepared from rabbit erythrocyte hemolyzed in isosmotic imidazole (151 mmol.L-1, pH 7.4) buffer showed an enhancement of calmodulin (CaM) activated Ca(2+)-ATPase activity compared with the membrane prepared in hypotonic imidazole (10 mmol.L-1, EGTA 1 mmol.L-1, pH 7.4) buffer. The Ca(2+)-ATPase activity of the former (activated-calmodulin) was inhibited by cyproheptadine (Cyp) with IC50 75 mumol.L-1 (95% confidence interval was 18-319 mumol.L-1, r = 0.9118), while the Ca(2+)-ATPase activity of the latter (inactivated) was hardly influenced by Cyp. The results suggest that cyproheptadine antagonizes CaM, and its actions of the calcium antagonism and the anti-myocardial injury may, at least partially, be related to its CaM antagonism.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D011817 Rabbits A burrowing plant-eating mammal with hind limbs that are longer than its fore limbs. It belongs to the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, and in contrast to hares, possesses 22 instead of 24 pairs of chromosomes.

D002147 Calmodulin A heat-stable, low-molecular-weight activator protein found mainly in the brain and heart. The binding of calcium ions to this protein allows this protein to bind to cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases and to adenyl cyclase with subsequent activation. Thereby this protein modulates cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP levels.

D000252 Calcium-Transporting ATPases Cation-transporting proteins that utilize the energy of ATP hydrolysis for the transport of CALCIUM. They differ from CALCIUM CHANNELS which allow calcium to pass through a membrane without the use of energy.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
