Abstract excerpt
The biological role and structure-function relationship of the Na(+)Ca(2+) exchanger NCX1 have been the subject of much investigation. Subtle mutagenesis to study the function of a protein seems only feasible in in vitro systems, but genetic forward screens have the potential to provide in vivo models to study single amino acid substitutions. In a genetic screen in mouse, we have isolated a mutant line carrying a...
