Abstract excerpt
Cardiac sodium channels (voltage-gated Na(+) channel subunit 1.5) reside in both the plasmalemma and membrane invaginations called caveolae. Opening of the caveolar neck permits resident channels to become functional. In cardiac myocytes, caveolar opening can be stimulated by applying beta-receptor agonists, which initiates an interaction between the stimulatory G protein subunit-alpha (G(s)alpha) and caveolin-3....
