Abstract excerpt
Ca(v)1.2 channels are important for excitation-contraction coupling of cardiac muscles. Alternative splicing of Ca(v)1.2 channels could produce extensive phenotypic variations of channel properties. In a rat model of chronic myocardial infarction, we investigated whether Ca(v)1.2 channels may alter the use of alternatively spliced exons to generate functional variants. A myocardial infarction model on rat was...
