Does oep23 form an ion channel in the chloroplast outer envelope?
The data indicate that the Oep23 activity represents a single channel unit and does not assemble into a multiple pore complex like bacterial type porins or mitochondrial voltage dependent anion channel. Thus, Oep23 represents a new member of ion channels in the outer envelope of chloroplasts involved in solute exchange.
Prolonged IABP support of patients presenting with end-stage heart failure and right ventricular dysfunction induced significant improvement in right ventricular and peripheral organ function.
