The Interaction of Caveolin 3 Protein with the Potassium Inward Rectifier Channel Kir2.1
3 May 2013
Abstract excerpt
Mutations in CAV3 cause LQT syndrome 9 (LQT9). A previously reported LQT9 patient had prominent U waves on ECG, a feature that has been correlated with Kir2.1 loss of function. Our objective was to determine whether caveolin 3 (Cav3) associates with Kir2.1 and whether LQT9-associated CAV3 mutations affect the biophysical properties of Kir2.1. Kir2.1 current (I K1 ) density was measured using the whole-cell...
