Abstract excerpt
The cardiac Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger (NCX1) is the predominant mechanism for the extrusion of Ca(2+) from beating cardiomyocytes. The role of protein phosphorylation in the regulation of NCX1 function in normal and diseased hearts remains unclear. In our search for proteins that interact with NCX1 using a yeast two-hybrid screen, we found that the C terminus of calcineurin Abeta, containing the autoinhibitory...
