KCNE2 Protein Is Expressed in Ventricles of Different Species, and Changes in Its Expression Contribute to Electrical Remodeling in Diseased Hearts
6 Apr 2004
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mutations in KCNE2 have been linked to long-QT syndrome (LQT6), yet KCNE2 protein expression in the ventricle and its functional role in native channels are not clear. METHODS AND RESULTS: We detected KCNE2 protein in human, dog, and rat ventricles in Western blot experiments. Immunocytochemistry confirmed KCNE2 protein expression in ventricular myocytes. To explore the functional role of KCNE2, we...
