Abstract excerpt
Precise control of Kir2.1 channel gating is essential for maintaining membrane potential and enabling repolarization in excitable cells. Disruption of Kir2.1 function can cause Andersen-Tawil syndrome type 1 (ATS1), a multisystem channelopathy that predisposes patients to ventricular dysrhythmias and increases the risk of sudden cardiac death. Kir2.1 activity depends on interactions with the membrane phospholipid...
