We tested if phospholamban (PLB) is in nuclear envelope (NE) of cardiomyocytes (CMs). Multiple PLB antibodies stained CM perinuclear/nuclear membranes in several species. Immunoblot/fluorescence assays showed high levels of PLB in NE of isolated CM nuclei. The Fab fragment of PLB antibody increased perinuclear/nuclear Ca uptake and release. PLB was localized in NE in high concentration and involved in CM nuclear Ca handling.
