Funded Activity Summary

ZnT-1 regulates store operated calcium channels in salivary gland physiology and pathology. This project examines the hypothesis that the membrane protein ZnT-1 protects cardiac cells against the damage inflicted during ischemic reperfusion incidents, like in myocardial infarction (MI). The project is expected to elucidate the mechanism underlying cardiac cell protection, leading to the discovery of new drugs for protecting the heart against MI.
