Abstract

The regulation of ion channels involves more than just modulation of their synthesis and kinetics, as controls on their trafficking and localization are also important. Although the body of knowledge is fairly large, the entire trafficking pathway is not known for any one channel. This review summarizes current knowledge on the trafficking of potassium channels that are expressed in the heart. Our knowledge of channel assembly, trafficking through the Golgi apparatus and on to the surface is covered, as are controls on channel surface retention and endocytosis. © 2007 The Authors.
