Abstract excerpt
The activity of voltage-gated K(+) (K(V)) channels plays an important role in regulating pulmonary artery smooth muscle cell (PASMC) contraction, proliferation, and apoptosis. The highly conserved NH(2)-terminal tetramerization domain (T1) of K(V) channels is important for proper channel assembly...
