Preservation of cardiac function by prolonged action potentials in mice deficient of KChIP2
9 Jun 2015
Abstract excerpt
Inherited ion channelopathies and electrical remodeling in heart disease alter the cardiac action potential with important consequences for excitation-contraction coupling. Potassium channel-interacting protein 2 (KChIP2) is reduced in heart failure and interacts under physiological conditions with both Kv4 to conduct the fast-recovering transient outward K(+) current (Ito,f) and with CaV1.2 to mediate the inward...
