Abstract excerpt
The β subunit of high voltage-activated Ca(2+) (Ca(v)) channels targets the pore-forming α(1) subunit to the plasma membrane and tunes the biophysical phenotype of the Ca(v) channel complex. We used a combination of molecular biology and whole-cell patch clamp to investigate the functional role of a long N-terminal polyacidic motif (NPAM) in a Ca(v)β subunit of the human parasite Schistosoma mansoni (β(Sm)), a...
