"In SQT1, a gain-of-function mutation in KCNH2 impairs the voltage dependent inactivation of I Kr."

reach
"In the micromolar concentration range NS309 blocks hERG channels (IC 50 = 1.3 muM) and CyPPA blocks voltage gated sodium channels (IC 50 = 11 muM), whereas NS13001 had no effect on these channels at concentrations as high as 10 muM (data not shown)."

reach
"Kcnh2 is a voltage-activated potassium channel that hyperpolarizes the plasma membrane by conducting K out of the cell, thereby maintaining keratinocytes.87 Kcnj8 channels are inwardly rectified K channels that maintain membrane potential depolarization.88 Interestingly, Kcnj8 activation and Kcnh2 inhibition promote wound healing and facilitate the net inflow of potassium into cells."

reach
"The results of our study can be summarized as follows : 1) acepromazine inhibited the hERG channels in a concentration dependent manner; 2) the drug also blocked hERG channels voltage dependently between -40 mV and +60 mV; 3) acepromazine inhibited the hERG currents by acting on both the inactivated (during the depolarization) and open (during the repolarization) states of the channels; 4) the result of fast drug application study was consistent with the open-channel block mechanism of hERG channel by acepromazine."

reach
"I kinetics data for the truncated construct, hERG , are limited to date, showing a modest (+5 mV) shift in voltage‐dependent activation, whilst the channel retained sensitivity to inhibition by the high affinity inhibitors dofetilide and astemizole (Wang & MacKinnon, 2017)."

reach
"HERG1 expression within the nucleus reduced hERG1 current density by depolarizing the voltage dependence of activation and stabilizing inactivation."

reach
"Gating current studies suggest that a slow component of hERG gating charge, Q on, underlies S4 voltage sensor movement with a time constant of ~ 50 ms at +10 mV which is slightly faster than channel activation, and a V (1/2) that is about 20 mV hyperpolarized compared to the conductance-voltage (G-V) relationship in both WT and S631A inactivation removed channels XREF_BIBR."

reach
"Therefore, S631 mutations that disrupted C-type inactivation also facilitated hERG channel activation in the negative voltage range."
