cardiovascular system
• in mutants, there is a marked disorganization of a marker for cardiac Purkinje cells Cx40 in the peripheral conduction system compared to wild-type and ventricular-specific null animals
• mice have abnormalities in the innervation to the AVN region
• atrial paced 2:1 atrioventricular block rates are higher in nulls compared to wild-type
• atrial effective refractory periods are lengthened in null animals
