The regulator of calcineurin 1 (RCAN1) inhibits CN (calcineurin), a Ca2+-activated protein phosphatase important in cardiac remodeling. In humans, RCAN1 is located on chromosome 21 proximity to the Down syndrome critical region. hearts and brains Rcan1 KO mice are more susceptible damage from ischemia/reperfusion (I/R); however, underlying cause not known.Mitochondria key mediators I/R damage. goal these studies was determine impact mitochondrial dynamics function.Using both neonatal...
