Abstract excerpt
We have demonstrated that the natural flavone acacetin selectively inhibits ultra-rapid delayed rectifier potassium current (I(Kur)) in human atria. However, molecular determinants of this ion channel blocker are unknown. The present study was designed to investigate the molecular determinants underlying the ability of acacetin to block hKv1.5 channels (coding I(Kur)) in human atrial myocytes using the whole-cell...
