Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIMS: The D553N mutation located in the C-linker of the cardiac pacemaker channel HCN4 is thought to cause sino-atrial dysfunction via a pronounced dominant-negative trafficking defect. Since HCN4 mutations usually have a minor defect in channel gating, it was our aim to further characterize the disease causing mechanism of D553N. METHODS: Fluorescence microscopy, FACS, TEVC and patch-clamp recordings...
