Description:
Article Altered function of the muscle LIM protein (MLP) causes dilated cardiomyopathy in mice and humans. Lange et al . explain the molecular role of MLP in the heart by showing that it affects the signalling complex at the intercalated discs of failing hearts that consists of PKCα, PLCβ1 and CARP by inhibiting PKCα auto-phosphorylation and function.
