Abstract excerpt
The null mutation of cardiac Na(+)-Ca(2+) exchanger (NCX1) gene in mice caused death of embryo in utero at embryonic day (ED) 9.0-9.5 and this embryonic lethality appears resulted from abnormal heart development. In the present study, we investigated whether transgenic re-expression of NCX1 in mutant cardiac myocytes could rescue these lethal defects. Transgenic mice expressing the canine NCX1 in a cardiac...
