A ryanodine receptor modulator which activates the receptor. Ryanodine receptors (RyRs) act as selective ion channels, modulating the release of calcium. Activating the receptors causes the release of calcium, so depleting internal calcium and ultimately preventing further muscle contraction.
Caffeine results in increased activity of RYR1 protein; Caffeine results in increased activity of RYR1 protein mutant form Caffeine promotes the reaction [Ryanodine binds to RYR1 protein mutant form]; Caffeine promotes the reaction [Ryanodine binds to RYR1 protein]; Dantrolene inhibits the reaction [Caffeine promotes the reaction [Ryanodine binds to RYR1 protein mutant form]]; Dantrolene inhibits the reaction [Caffeine promotes the reaction [Ryanodine binds to RYR1 protein]]; Dantrolene inhibits the reaction [Caffeine results in increased activity of RYR1 protein mutant form]; Dantrolene inhibits the reaction [Caffeine results in increased activity of RYR1 protein]
