Single point mutations affect fatty acid block of human myocardial sodium channel α subunit Na <sup>+</sup> channels
6 Mar 2001
Abstract excerpt
Suppression of cardiac voltage-gated Na(+) currents is probably one of the important factors for the cardioprotective effects of the n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) against lethal arrhythmias. The alpha subunit of the human cardiac Na(+) channel (hH1(alpha)) and its mutants were expressed in human embryonic kidney (HEK293t) cells. The effects of single amino acid point mutations on fatty acid-induced...
