The recent use of confocal microscopy showed for the first time that the nucleus plays an important role in excitation-contraction and secretion coupling of several excitable and nonexcitable cells. It was also suggested that, like the sarcolemma membrane, the nuclear membrane indeed possesses chann

A significant difficulty faced by the pharmaceutical industry is the initial identification and selection of macromolecular targets upon which de novo drug discovery programs can be initiated. A drug target should have several characteristics: known biological function; robust assay systems for in v
## Abstract The voltageβgated Kv1.3 and the calciumβactivated KCa3.1 potassium channel modulate many calciumβdependent cellular processes in immune cells, including Tβcell activation and proliferation and have therefore been proposed as novel therapeutic targets for immunomodulation. Kv1.3 is highl
