The Effects of Dilated Cardiomyopathy and Atrial Fibrillation Lamin A/C Mutations on Phosphorylated Kinase C Alpha Cellular Distribution and Activity

Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM) with conduction disease and Atrial Fibrillation (AF) are the two cardiac-specific diseases associated with lamin A/C gene (LMNA) mutations. Protein Kinase C Alpha, (PKCα) functions as a nodal integrator of cardiac contractility by “sensing” intracellular calcium and sign...
