摘要: Background—A C825T polymorphism was recently identified in the human gene encoding for β3-subunit of heterotrimeric G proteins. The 825T allele is associated with a splice variant Gβ3 and enhanced signal transduction. We hypothesized that patients carrying exhibit modified phenotype. resulting enhancement transduction should be detectable Gβγ-dimer–mediated acetylcholine-stimulated K+ current (IK,ACh). Methods Results—Seventy undergoing cardiac surgery were genotyped polymorphism. In right atrial myocytes from these patients, inward rectifier currents (IK1, IK,ACh) studied whole-cell patch-clamp technique. Background IK1 measured depolarizing ramp pulses quantified as at −100 mV; mean amplitudes (pA/pF) 4.98±0.49 (n=30/93 patients/cells) CC genotype, 4.25±0.36 (n=31/121 TC, 7.46±1.14 (n=9/32 patients/cells; P<0.05) TT.
