Abstract excerpt
The slow cardiac delayed rectifier current (IKs) is formed by KCNQ1 and KCNE1 subunits and is one of the major repolarizing currents in the heart. Decrease of IKs currents either due to inherited mutations or pathological remodeling is associated with increased risk for cardiac arrhythmias and sudden death. Ca2+-dependent PKC isoforms (cPKC) are chronically activated in heart disease and diabetes. Recently, we...
