Upstream alternative polyadenylation in <i>SCN5A</i> produces a short transcript isoform encoding a mitochondria-localized NaV1.5 N-terminal fragment that influences cardiomyocyte respiration

Abstract excerpt
<h4>SUMMARY</h4> SCN5A encodes the cardiac voltage-gated Na+ channel, NaV1.5, that initiates action potentials. SCN5A gene variants cause arrhythmias and increased heart failure risk. Mechanisms controlling NaV1.5 expression and activity are not fully understood. We recently found a well-conserved alternative polyadenylation (APA) signal downstream of the first SCN5A coding exon. This yields a SCN5A-short tran...
