A Dominant Negative Isoform of the Long QT Syndrome 1 Gene Product
1 Mar 1998
Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the KvLQT1 gene are the cause of the long QT syndrome 1. KvLQT1 gene product is associated with the regulator protein IsK to produce a component of the delayed rectifier K+ current in cardiac myocytes. We identified an N-terminal truncated isoform of the KvLQT1 gene product, referred to as isoform 2. In RNase protection assays, isoform 2 represented 28.1 +/- 0.6% of the total KvLQT1 expression in the...
