Abstract excerpt
The T1 domain is a cytosolic NH2-terminal domain present in all Kv (voltage-dependent potassium) channels, and is highly conserved between Kv channel subfamilies. Our characterization of a truncated form of Kv1.5 (Kv1.5deltaN209) expressed in myocardium demonstrated that deletion of the NH2 terminus of Kv1.5 imparts a U-shaped inactivation-voltage relationship to the channel, and prompted us to investigate the...
