Stabilizing effects of eicosapentaenoic acid on Kv1.5 channel protein expressed in mammalian cells.

We investigated the effects of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) on the stability of Kv1.5 channel protein. The expression and function of Kv1.

Functional stabilization of Kv1.5 protein by Hsp70 in mammalian cell lines.

The aim of this study was to elucidate the mechanisms for regulations of cardiac Kv1.5 channel expression. We particularly focused on the role of heat shock proteins (Hsps).
