Abstract
The finding that the voltage-dependence of inactivation and the pharmacology of Kv 1.5 + Kv β1.3 channels after PKC inhibition resembled that observed in Kv 1.5 channels suggests that both processes are dependent on PKC-mediated phosphorylation. These results may have clinical relevance in diseases that are characterized by alterations in kinase activity.
