Abstract excerpt
Kir2.1 channels play a key role in maintaining the correct resting potential in eukaryotic cells. Recently, specific amino acid mutations in the Kir2.1 inwardly rectifying potassium channel have been found to cause Andersen's Syndrome in humans. Here, we have characterized individual Andersen's Syndrome mutants R218Q, G300V, E303K, and delta314-315 and have found multiple effects on the ability of the cytoplasmic...
