Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Integrin-linked kinase (ILK) is a serine/threonine kinase that has been linked to human and experimental heart failure, but its role in the heart is not fully understood. METHODS AND RESULTS: To define the role of cardiomyocyte ILK, we generated cardiac-specific ILK knockout mice using α-myosin heavy chain-driven Cre expression. Cardiac-specific ILK knockout mice spontaneously developed lethal dilated...
