Excitation-contraction coupling in cardiomyocytes requires the proper targeting and retention of membrane proteins to unique domains by adaptor proteins like ankyrin-B. While ankyrin-B has been shown to interact with a variety of membrane and structural proteins located at different subcellular domains in cardiomyocytes, what regulates the specificity of ankyrin-B for particular interacting proteins remains elusive.
