- IP3 releases Ca2+ from Sarc. Ret
- Ca2+ can enter the cytoplasm through voltage/ligand gated channels
- Ca2+ binds to calmodulin
- Interacts with myosin light chain kinase which P myosin head groups and stimulates contraction
- IP3 releases Ca2+ from Sarc. Ret
B receptors inhibit Myosin Light Chain Kinase
- By activating PKA (though cAMP
