Key result
Alternative splicing of the hSK1 channel, specifically deletions of 25 or 34 bases, removes a C-terminal motif and diminishes calmodulin binding, particularly in the absence of Ca2+.

May alter SK1 currents in cardiac tissue; hypothesis-generating for isoform-specific channel regulation in arrhythmia research.
Alternative splicing of the hSK1 channel modulates its binding to calmodulin, which may affect channel function in different tissues.
Zhang et al. (2001) studied this question. Alternative splicing of hSK1 vs. Full-length hSK1 variant was evaluated on Calmodulin binding. Alternative splicing of the hSK1 channel, specifically deletions of 25 or 34 bases, removes a C-terminal motif and diminishes calmodulin binding, particularly in the absence of Ca2+.
