Abstract excerpt
The Na+-Ca2+ exchanger (NCX1) is up-regulated in hypertrophy and is often found up-regulated in end-stage heart failure. Studies have shown that the change in its expression contributes to contractile dysfunction. We have previously shown that the 1831-bp Ncx1 H1 (1831Ncx1) promoter directs cardiac-specific expression of the exchanger in both development and in the adult, and is sufficient for the up-regulation...
