Abstract excerpt
The aim of this study was to elucidate the effects of regulator of G-protein signaling 5 (Rgs5), a negative regulator of G-protein-mediated signaling, on cardiac repolarization and arrhythmia in mice. Wild-type and Rgs5(-/-) mice were subjected to in vivo, in vitro, and cellular electrophysiological experiments. Rgs5(-/-) mouse hearts showed significantly prolonged cardiac repolarization, including prolonged QT...
