The sequence of 5,037 amino acids composing the ryanodine receptor from rabbit skeletal
muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum has been deduced by cloning and sequencing the
complementary DNA. The predicted structure suggests that the calcium release channel
activity resides in the C-terminal region of the receptor molecule, whereas the remaining
portion constitutes the'foot'structure spanning the junctional gap between the sarcoplasmic
reticulum and the transverse tubule.
