Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Human gene variants affecting ion channel biophysical activity and/or membrane localization are linked to potentially fatal cardiac arrhythmias. However, the mechanism for many human arrhythmia variants remains undefined despite more than a decade of investigation. Posttranslational modulation of membrane proteins is essential for normal cardiac function. Importantly, aberrant myocyte signaling has...
