Ankyrin-based cardiac arrhythmias: a new class of channelopathies due to loss of cellular targeting
28 Apr 2005
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review addresses a new mechanism for arrhythmia due to abnormal cellular localization of membrane ion channels and transporters. The focus is on ankyrins, a family of proteins that localize diverse membrane ion channels and transporters, and recent evidence that mutations affecting functions of ankyrins result in cardiac arrhythmia. RECENT FINDINGS: A loss-of-function mutation of ankyrin-B...
