Abstract excerpt
The role of NF-kappaB in cardiac physiology and pathophysiology has been difficult to delineate due to the inability to specifically block NF-kappaB signaling in the heart. Cardiac-specific transgenic models have recently been developed that repress NF-kappaB activation by preventing phosphorylation at specific serine residues of the inhibitory kappaB (IkappaB) protein isoform IkappaBalpha. However, these models...
