Tamoxifen Inhibits Cardiac ATP-Sensitive and Acetylcholine-Activated K+ Currents in Part by Interfering With Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-Bisphosphate–Channel Interaction

Tamoxifen inhibits transmembrane currents of the Kir2.x inward rectifier potassium channels by interfering with the interaction of the channels with membrane phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2). We tested the hypothesis that Kir channels with low affinity for PIP2, like the adenosine tripho...
