The paper of Ribadeau-Dumas et al. in this issue [1] deals with the interesting, but complex regulation of the SERCA2 gene. This gene encodes the sarcoplasmatic calcium pump, which is a crucial enzyme in the calcium handling of the cardiomyocyte. Insight into the regulation of this gene is therefore of paramount importance. A proper understanding of the regulation of the expression of a gene in adult, developing, experimental or diseased (cardiac) tissue requires precise knowledge of the control at each step from gene to the function of the encoded protein, comprising RNA and protein accumulation (being the product of synthesis and degradation) and biological activity of the studied protein. This list can
