KCNH2 inhibits Kr. 20 / 20

reach
"Mutations in KCNH2 (the gene which encodes I Kr) cause a decrease in the magnitude of I Kr and are associated with Long QT syndrome [XREF_BIBR, XREF_BIBR]."

reach
"Reduction of I Kr induced by mutations in hERG or drug block slows repolarization, causing long QT syndrome and sudden cardiac death."

reach
"Because hERG channels conduct cardiac I Kr ( 37 , 38 ), a repolarizing current in the heart ( 39 ), hERG blockers can prolong the ventricular action potential and the QT interval on the surface electr[MISSING/INVALID CREDENTIALS: limited to 200 char for Elsevier]"

reach
"A Per-Arnt-Sim (PAS) domain in the hERG1 N-terminus reduces I Kr by slowing channel activation and promoting inactivation."

reach
"The widely accepted ionic mechanism of most drug-induced QTc prolongation leading to TdP is direct blockade of Kv11.1 channel (encoded by KCNH2 ) leading to reduced I Kr current ( Katchman et al., 200[MISSING/INVALID CREDENTIALS: limited to 200 char for Elsevier]"

reach
"The potencies (IC 50 values) for E209 to inhibit the cardiac I Kr (hERG), Cav 1.2 and Nav 1.5 channels were determined in an electrophysiology based assays using IonWorks HT (CHO cells) XREF_BIBR."

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

reach
"This result indicates that a mutation in hERG not only can disrupt I Kr but can worsen I Ks function and superimpose to cause a synergistic lesion to the defective I Ks encoded with a mutant KCNQ1, leading to further prolongation of APD and the QT interval."

reach
"The authors showed that the R311C mutation specifically disables the posttranscriptional activity of TBX20 over KCNH2, which decreases the I Kr and prolongs the AP, therefore, identifying TBX20 as an LQT2 modifying gene [XREF_BIBR]."

reach
"We have previously shown that the G1681A mutation in KCNH2 disrupts trafficking of the I Kr / HERG channel to the cell membrane [XREF_BIBR]."

reach
"Three predominant types, e.g., LQT type 1 (loss-of-function mutations in KCNQ1 causing a reduction of I Ks ), type 2 (loss-of-function mutations in KCNH2 causing a reduction of I Kr ), and type 3 (gai[MISSING/INVALID CREDENTIALS: limited to 200 char for Elsevier]"

reach
"Mutations in hERG channels reduce I Kr to cause congenital long-QT syndrome type 2, mostly by decreasing surface membrane expression of trafficking deficient channels."

reach
"The effects of non hERG channels are thought to enhance or mitigate the torsadogenic effects of I Kr block."

reach
"18, 19 Wolpert et al, prove that mutations in KCNH2 reduce the affinity of sotalol in I Kr unlike quinidine."

reach
"XREF_BIBR Block of hERG channels reduces the key repolarizing current, I Kr, to cause QT interval lengthening on EKG to potentially induce the life threatening cardiac arrhythmia torsades de pointes."

reach
"A reduction in Kv11.1 mediated I Kr current causes LQT2 [ 9 ]."

reach
"These findings indicate that heterotetrameric HERG channels containing HERG1b-R25W impair the generation of I Kr."

reach
"The hERG channel blocker E-4031 is known to block the rapid delayed rectifier K + channel (I Kr), thereby decreasing K + efflux and increasing APD."

reach
"To lengthen atrial refractory period, Amit et al. assessed gene transfer of a KCNH2 mutation (G628S) known to block the I Kr current with dominant negative effects."

reach
"Using cell biology and electrophysiologic techniques, we found that hypoxic culture of hERG expressing human embryonic kidney (HEK) cells and neonatal rat cardiomyocytes reduced hERG current / I Kr and mature ERG channel expression with a concomitant increase in calpain expression."
