Localization and trafficking of Kv channels in cardiac myocytes through the use of novel transfection methods

Voltage-gated K⁺ channels (Kv channels) play important roles in the repolarization and the termination of electrical excitation in cardiomyocytes, but very little is known about how their surface expression and localization are regulated. In this thesis, I report the characterization of Kv1.5 locali...
