Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: In human heart, the Kv 1.5 channel contributes to repolarization of atrial action potentials. This study examined the electrophysiological and molecular mechanisms underlying arachidonic acid (AA)-induced inhibition of the human Kv 1.5 (hKv 1.5) channel. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH: Site-directed mutagenesis was conducted to mutate amino acids that reside within the pore domain of the hKv 1.5...
