Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Like many voltage-gated sodium channels, the cardiac isoform Nav1.5 is well known as a glycoprotein which necessarily undergoes N-glycosylation processing during its transit to the plasma membrane. In some cardiac disorders, especially the Brugada syndrome (BrS), mutations in Nav1.5 encoding gene lead to intracellular retention and consequently trafficking defect of these proteins. We used two BrS...
