KCNH2 inhibits Kr. 15 / 15
| 15

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

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

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

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

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."

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
"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
"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
"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
"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."
