"As mentioned above, these isoforms exert distinct effects on HCN1 trafficking : TRIP8b (1a-4) strongly increases HCN1 surface expression; TRIP8b (1a) produces a ~ 10 fold decrease of HCN1 surface expression in Xenopus oocytes but enhances HCN1 expression in a mammalian cell line; and TRIP8b (1b-2) essentially abolishes surface expression in both oocytes and mammalian cells (> 50-fold decrease) by promoting channel endocytosis."

"Coexpression of Nedd4-2 and HCN1 drastically reduced the HCN1 mediated h-current amplitude (85-92%) in Xenopus laevis oocytes and reduced surface expression (34%) of HCN1 channels in HEK293 cells, thereby opposing effects of tetratricopeptide repeat containing Rab8b interacting protein (TRIP8b)-(1a-4), an auxiliary subunit that promotes HCN1 surface expression."
reach
"To explore whether lysosomal degradation contributes to reduced HCN1 protein levels in cells lacking TRIP8b, we transfected HEK293T cells with HCN1 and an isoform of TRIP8b known to enhance HCN1 surface expression, TRIP8b (1a-4), or with a TRIP8b construct that binds TRIP8b but lacks the alternatively spliced N-terminus that controls surface expression (TRIP8bDeltaN)."
reach
"To test the hypothesis that TRIP8b (1a-4) enhances HCN1 surface expression and targets the channel to its proper dendritic locale whereas TRIP8b (1a) prevents axonal expression of the channel, we examined the effects of viral overexpression of these two TRIP8b isoforms, both fused to an HA tag to allow us to distinguish exogenous from endogenous protein."
