Abstract excerpt
Ion-channel beta-subunits are ancillary proteins that co-assemble with alpha-subunits to modulate gating kinetics and enhance stability of multimeric channel complexes. They provide binding sites for other regulatory proteins and are medically important as the targets of many pharmacological compounds. MinK is the beta-subunit of the slow activating component of the delayed rectifier potassium current (I(Ks))...
