The evolving role of ankyrin-B in cardiovascular disease.
Over the past decade, ankyrin-B has been identified as a prominent player in cardiac physiology. Ankyrin-B has a multitude of functions, with roles in expression, localization, and regulation of proteins critical for cardiac excitability, cytoskeletal integrity, and signaling. Furthermore, human ANK2 variants that result in ankyrin-B loss of function are associated with "ankyrin-B syndrome," a complex cardiac phenotype that may include bradycardia and heart rate variability, conduction block, atrial fibrillation, QT interval prolongation, and potentially fatal catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia. However, our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying ankyrin-B function at baseline and in disease is still not fully developed owing to the complexity of ankyrin-B gene regulation, number of ankyrin-B-associated molecules, multiple roles of ankyrin-B in the heart and other organs that modulate cardiac function, and a host of unexpected clinical phenotypes. In this review, we summarize known roles of ankyrin-B in the heart and the impact of ankyrin-B dysfunction in animal models and in human disease as well as highlight important new findings illustrating the complexity of ankyrin-B signaling.
