In striated muscles, intracellular Ca2+ release is tightly controlled by the membrane voltage sensor. Ca2+ ions are necessary mediators of this control in cardiac but not in skeletal muscle, where their role is ill-understood. An intrinsic gating oscillation of Ca2+ release—not involving the voltage sensor—is demonstrated in frog skeletal muscle fibers under voltage clamp. A Markov model of the Ca...
