A-Kinase Anchoring Protein 2 Promotes Protection against Myocardial Infarction

Myocardial infarction (MI) is a leading cause of maladaptive cardiac remodeling and heart failure. In the damaged heart, loss of function is mainly due to cardiomyocyte death and remodeling of the cardiac tissue. The current study shows that A-kinase anchoring protein 2 (AKAP2) orchestrates cellular...

A-Kinase Anchoring Protein 2 Promotes Protection against Myocardial Infarction
description Myocardial infarction (MI) is a leading cause of maladaptive cardiac remodeling and heart failure.
