AbstractThe heart, in addition to its primary role in blood circulation, functions as an endocrine organ by producing cardiac hormone natriuretic peptides. These hormones regulate blood pressure through the single-pass transmembrane receptor guanylyl cyclase A (GC-A), also known as natriuretic peptide receptor 1.

AbstractInositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP3Rs) are endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ channels whose biphasic dependence on cytosolic Ca2+ gives rise to Ca2+ oscillations that regulate fertilization, cell division and cell death. Despite the critical roles of IP3R-mediated Ca2+ responses, the structural underpinnings of the biphasic Ca2+ dependence that underlies Ca2+ oscillations are incompletely understood.
