Aberrant Deactivation-Induced Gain of Function in TRPM4 Mutant Is Associated with Human Cardiac Conduction Block.

Abstract excerpt

A gain-of-function mutation in the Ca2+-activated transient receptor potential melastatin member 4 (TRPM4A432T) is linked to life-threatening cardiac conduction disturbance, but the underlying mechanism is unclear. For deeper insights, we used photolysis of caged Ca2+, quantitative Ca2+, and electrophysiological measurements. TRPM4A432T's 2-fold larger membrane current was associated with 50% decreased plasma...
