Introduction

Calsequestrin-2 (or CASQ2) is the soluble CA2+ binding protein in the sarcoplasmic reticulum lumen of the cardiac muscle cells. CASQ2 could be either in a monomeric, homodimeric, or homooligomeric chain form depending on its bounds with Ca2+. Mutations of CASQ2 are involved in cardiac diseases such as Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia.

TextToBeDisplayed

There are 12 alpha helix and 15 beta sheet. The acidics amino acids can bind the Ca2+ especially the glutamate and the aspartate.
