Abstract

Ca 2+ -calcineurin-NFAT signaling plays a major role in promoting pathological cardiac hypertrophy. Heineke et al. (2010) show that CIB1 strongly enhances calcineurin activation and cardiac hypertrophy upon pathological stress, likely by functioning as a scaffold protein that exposes calcineurin to the L-Type Ca 2+ channel and the sarcolemma.
