Abstract excerpt
The function of the human cardiac sodium channel (NaV1.5) is modulated by the Ca2+ sensor calmodulin (CaM), but the underlying mechanism(s) are controversial and poorly defined. CaM has been reported to bind in a Ca2+-dependent manner to two sites in the intracellular loop that is critical for inactivation of NaV1.5 (inactivation gate [IG]). The affinity of CaM for the complete IG was significantly stronger than...
