Abstract excerpt
In cardiomyocytes, NaV1.5 channels mediate initiation and fast propagation of action potentials. The Ca2+-binding protein calmodulin (CaM) serves as a de facto subunit of NaV1.5. Genetic studies and atomic structures suggest that this interaction is pathophysiologically critical, as human mutations within the NaV1.5 carboxy-terminus that disrupt CaM binding are linked to distinct forms of life-threatening...
