Abstract excerpt
We have investigated the role of the S4-S5 linker in the trafficking of the intermediate (human (h) IK1) and small (rat SK3) conductance K(+) channels using a combination of patch-clamp, protein biochemical, and immunofluorescence-based techniques. We demonstrate that a lysine residue (Lys(197)) located on the intracellular loop between the S4 and S5 domains is necessary for the correct trafficking of hIK1 to the...
