“…Originally described in the brain at neuronal synapses (75), there is increasing evidence that these scaffolds play a similar role in the heart (1,7,27,39,45,46,53,61,63,81). It has been shown that interaction of cardiac ion channels with SAP97 occurs with a number of potassium channels including Kv1.5, Kv4, Kir2.2 and 2.3, and the hyperpolarization-activated, cyclic nucleotidegated channels (1,7,27,45,46,61,81). These ion channels interact with SAP97 through standard PDZ-domain binding to the terminal most amino acids of the ion channel (1,27,45,46,53,61,81) and appear to play an important role in regulation of channel density at the cardiac myocyte membranes (1,79).…”
