Triadin Function in Sarcoplasmic Reticulum Structure

Abstract

The half-sarcomere, the functional unit of skeletal muscle, is able to produce power at high efficiency or resist a sudden increase in load with low metabolic cost, due to the combination of the function of the myosin II motors in the thick filament overlapped with the thin filament and the meshwork of cytoskeleton proteins acting as a scaffold. The importance of cytoskeleton proteins is illus-
