Abstract excerpt
DeltaKPQ, a three amino acid [lysine (K), proline (P), glutamine (Q)] deletion mutation of the human cardiac Na channel (hH1), which is one cause of long QT syndrome (LQT3), has impaired inactivation resulting in a late sodium current. To better understand inactivation in DeltaKPQ, we applied a site-3 toxin anthopleurin A, which has been shown to inhibit inactivation from the open state with little or no effect...
