Defects in Ankyrin-Based Membrane Protein Targeting Pathways Underlie Atrial Fibrillation
23 Aug 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia, affecting >2 million patients in the United States alone. Despite decades of research, surprisingly little is known regarding the molecular pathways underlying the pathogenesis of AF. ANK2 encodes ankyrin-B, a multifunctional adapter molecule implicated in membrane targeting of ion channels, transporters, and signaling molecules in...
