Abstract excerpt
In humans, Kv1.5 (hKv1.5) channels conduct the ultra-rapid delayed rectifier K(+) current (I(Kur)) that is important for the repolarization of cardiac action potentials. We aimed at examining the effect of lipoxygenase inhibitors cinnamyl-3,4-dihydroxy-alpha-cyanocinnamate (CDC), nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA), and gossypol on hKv1.5 wild-type and mutant channels heterologously expressed in Chinese hamster...
