Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Post-translational modifications such as phosphorylation and dephosphorylation can finely tune the function of ion channels. Nav1.5 is the main sodium channel in human hearts and alternative splicing of the transcript generates two major splice variants, characterized by the presence (Q-pre) or absence (Q-del) of glutamine at position 1077. In the heart, both the Nav1.5 channel and Fyn tyrosine...
