FKBP12.6 selectively binds to the cardiac ryanodine receptor (RyR2) but not to the skeletal muscle RyR1; only FKBP12.6 (not FKBP12) exchanges with endogenously bound FKBP12.6 or rebinds to FKBP-stripped cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum, explaining why cardiac CRC is isolated as a complex with FKBP12.6. |
