Ryanodine receptors (RyRs) and inositol 1, 4, 5‐trisphosphate receptors (IP3Rs) are
calcium (Ca2+) release channels on the endo/sarcoplasmic reticulum (ER/SR). Here we
summarize the latest advances in the field, describing the recently discovered mechanistic
roles of intracellular Ca2+ release channels in the regulation of mitochondrial fitness and
endothelial function, providing novel therapeutic options for the treatment of heart failure,
hypertension, and diabetes mellitus.
