The cardiac IKs channel, complex indeed.
T he cardiac IKs channel is a major repolarization current in the heart that responds rapidly and robustly to sympathetic nervous system stimulation to ensure adequate diastolic filling time in the face of accompanying accelerated heart rate. In cardiac myocytes, the IKs channel is a macromolecular complex composed of a poreforming α (KCNQ1) subunit and modulatory β (KCNE1) subunit, as well as ...
متن کاملStoichiometry of the cardiac IKs complex.
Nothing is easy for ion channels that assemble with membrane-embedded regulatory subunits. Something as trivial yet as fundamental as counting the number of subunits in an ion channel complex can be challenging and marred with controversy. The most infamous stoichiometric debate in the ion channel field has been over the potassium (K) channel complex that generates the repolarizing cardiac IKsl...
متن کاملCPSF6 is a Clinically Relevant Breast Cancer Vulnerability Target
Breast cancer represents a major health challenge. The majority of breast cancer deaths are due to cancer progression/recurrence for which no efficient therapies exist. Aggressive breast cancers are characterized by loss of cellular differentiation. Defining molecular mechanisms/targets contributing to cancer aggressiveness is needed to guide the design of new screening and targeted treatments....
متن کاملKinetoplast DNA: A Promising Drug Target for Treatment of Leishmaniasis
Leishmaniasis is a vector-borne zoonotic disease caused by various species of the genus Leishmania, (trypanosomatidae family) that is transmitted by phlebotomine sandflies. The disease can present in a range of clinical forms, including dermal lesions, metastasis mucocutaneous forms, and fatal visceral forms. In this non-systematic review, we aimed at introducing the role of kinetoplast DNA (kD...
متن کاملCardiac calmodulin kinase: a potential target for drug design.
Therapeutic strategy for cardiac arrhythmias has undergone a remarkable change during the last decades. Currently implantable cardioverter defibrillator therapy is considered to be the most effective therapeutic method to treat malignant arrhythmias. Some even argue that there is no room for antiarrhythmic drug therapy in the age of implantable cardioverter defibrillators. However, in clinical ...
