The study identifies the presence of native GIRK4 homotetramers in bovine heart atria, challenging the hypothesis that GIRK1 is strictly required for functional GIRK channel formation.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May challenge strict GIRK1 requirement for atrial channels; leaves open relevance of homotetramers to human electrophysiology.
Corey et al. (1998) studied this question.
