Journal ArticleDOI

Modulation of A-type potassium channels by a family of calcium sensors

TL;DR: Three Kv channel-interacting proteins (KChIPs) that bind to the cytoplasmic amino termini of Kv4 α-subunits are described that may regulate A-type currents, and hence neuronal excitability, in response to changes in intracellular calcium.
Journal ArticleDOI

Outward K+ Current Densities and Kv1.5 Expression Are Reduced in Chronic Human Atrial Fibrillation

TL;DR: The unexpected finding of reduced voltage-gated outward K+ current densities in atrial myocytes from AF patients demonstrates the need to further examine the details of the electrophysiological remodeling that occurs during AF to enable more effective and safer therapeutic strategies to be developed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Primary structure and functional expression of a mammalian skeletal muscle sodium channel

TL;DR: The isolation and characterization of a cDNA encoding the alpha subunit of a new voltage-sensitive sodium channel, microI, from rat skeletal muscle is described, and northern blot analysis indicates that the 8.5 kb microI transcript is preferentially expressed in skeletal muscle.
Journal ArticleDOI

Caspr2, a New Member of the Neurexin Superfamily, Is Localized at the Juxtaparanodes of Myelinated Axons and Associates with K+ Channels

TL;DR: A role for Caspr family members in the local differentiation of the axon into distinct functional subdomains is suggested in the generation of specialized subcellular domains to which different sets of ion channels are localized.
Journal ArticleDOI

Localization and targeting of voltage-dependent ion channels in mammalian central neurons.

TL;DR: Progress made on recent studies aimed to determine the cellular and subcellular distribution of specific ion channel subunits in mammalian brain neurons using in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry are reviewed.
