Abstract excerpt
GIRK (G protein-gated inward rectifier K(+) channel) proteins play critical functional roles in heart and brain physiology. Using antibodies directed to either GIRK1 or GIRK4, site-directed mutagenesis, and specific glycosidases, we have investigated the effects of glycosylation in the biosynthesis and heteromerization of these proteins expressed in oocytes. Both GIRK1 and GIRK4 have one extracellular consensus...
