Abstract excerpt
The coassembly of homologous subunits to heteromeric complexes serves as an important mechanism in generating ion channel diversity. Here, we have studied heteromerization in the hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated (HCN) channel family. Using a combination of fluorescence confocal microscopy, coimmunoprecipitation, and electrophysiology we found that upon coexpression in HEK293 cells almost all...
