A novel desmocollin-2 mutation reveals insights into the molecular link between desmosomes and gap junctions
8 Jan 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Cellular adhesion mediated by cardiac desmosomes is a prerequisite for proper electric propagation mediated by gap junctions in the myocardium. However, the molecular principles underlying this interdependence are not fully understood. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to determine potential causes of right ventricular conduction abnormalities in a patient with borderline diagnosis of...
