Abstract excerpt
The targeting of ion channels to cholesterol-rich membrane microdomains has emerged as a novel mechanism of ion channel localization. Previously, we reported that Kv1.5, a prominent cardiovascular K(+) channel alpha-subunit, localizes to caveolar microdomains. However, the mechanisms regulating Kv1.5 targeting and the functional significance of this localization are largely unknown. In this study, we demonstrate...
