"For example, congenital long QT syndrome is caused by mutations in the human ether-a-go-go-related gene (HERG) encoding a potassium channel."

reach
"These studies all suggest that potassium channel functional deficits caused by KCNH2 polymorphisms are related to not only LQT2 but also to epileptic attacks."

reach
"The effects of Aspidasept on hERG-mediated potassium channel currents were investigated by theoretical molecular docking, and experimentally by manual and by planar patch-clamp electrophysiology."

"This results in a large hERG-mediated tail current that is observed in the second partial depolarization phase to −50 mV.Aspidasept (Pep19-2.5) was applied at nominal concentrations of 1 µg/mL, 10 µg/mL, and 100 µg/mL, and remaining hERG mediated potassium channel currents normalized to initial currents were calculated."

"SCN5A encodes an alpha subunit of voltage-gated Na + channel while KCNH2 transcripts encode a voltage-activated potassium channel (hERG)."

"11 In contrast, the risk of LTE among men is attenuated after the onset of adolescence.7, 8, 9 The mechanisms underlying the influence of sex hormones on cardiac repolarization are complex and are not completely understood.Sex hormones have varying effects on I (Kv7.1) and I (Kv11.1) currents.14 Testosterone increases the potassium channel currents, resulting in a shorter QTc in both animal and human studies."

"KCNH2 encodes a voltage-activated potassium channel that has been mainly indicated as playing a role in long QT syndrome [32, 33]."

reach
"No effects of Aspidasept on hERG-mediated potassium channel currents were observed."

reach
"It has been long demonstrated that hERG-mediated potassium channels effectively control the duration of the action potential and QT interval, which is detected in electrocardiograms [30,31]."

reach
"HERG codes for a voltage activated potassium channel that is especially important during the repolarization phase of the action potential."
