SR‐related proteins were analyzed by Western blotting as previously described (Eshima, Tamura, et al., 2017 (link)). The protein abundance of the ryanodine receptor (RyR), the dihydropyridine (DHPR), the calsequestrin (CSQ), and the SR Ca2+‐ATPase (SERCA) was assessed. Briefly, polyvinylidene fluoride membranes were incubated overnight at 4°C with the following primary antibodies: anti‐type 1 ryanodine receptor (RyR) antibody 34C (MA3‐925; Thermo Fisher Scientific); anti‐dihydropyridine (DHPR) antibody 20A (ab2864; Abcam); anti‐calsequestrin antibody VIIID12 (MA3‐913; Thermo Scientific); anti‐SR Ca2+‐ATPase 2 (SERCA2) antibody 2A7‐A1 (MA3‐919; Thermo Scientific), and anti‐ glyceraldehyde‐3‐phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) antibody 14C10 (no. 2118; Cell Signaling Technology) at 4°C. The membranes were incubated with the appropriate secondary antibody conjugated to horseradish peroxidase, enhanced by SuperSignal West Dura and Femto extended duration substrate (Thermo Fisher Scientific), and quantified by densitometry (C‐DiGit, LI‐COR Biosciences).
