KCNH2 activates potassium(1+). 38 / 38

"Interestingly and in contrast to previous studies, when expressed in Xenopus oocytes, the interaction between Sig-1Rs and hERG channels resulted in increased hERG mediated K+ currents -- a mechanism that seemed to occur through a regulation of channels subunits maturation and stability [XREF_BIBR]."
reach
"As blockade of the human Ether-a-go-go-Related Gene (hERG)-mediated potassium current is the most common mechanism of drug induced prolongation of the myocardial action potential and QT-interval prolongation, data showing that dabigatran did not modify the hERG mediated potassium current in human embryonic kidney cells agree with the previously mentioned pre-clinical results [XREF_BIBR]."
reach
"Of these, the Kv11.1 (hERG, KCNH2) channel mediates the cardiac potassium current IKr, involved in the repolarization of the cardiac action potential and playing a crucial role to prevent arrhythmias induced by early after depolarizations or ectopic beats, such that mutations in Kv11.1 lead to inherited type 2 long QT syndrome."
reach
"This variant has subsequently been shown to slow I Ks potassium channel, when studied in Xenopus oocytes [XREF_BIBR], and to exhibit significant loss-of-function effects on both the KCNQ1- and KCNH2 mediated potassium currents, as measured in Chinese hamster ovarian cells [XREF_BIBR]."
reach
"Fluoxetine, a commonly used antidepressant, was reported to block the currents of several potassium channels, which are mediated by Kv1.1, Kv1.3, Kv1.4, Kv1.5, Kv3.1, Kv4.3, hERG and TREK-1 XREF_BIBR, XREF_BIBR, XREF_BIBR, XREF_BIBR, XREF_BIBR, XREF_BIBR, XREF_BIBR, XREF_BIBR, XREF_BIBR."
reach
"In addition to I to, f and I Kur, human atrial myocytes also exhibit a rapidly activating and inactivating current (I Kr) and a slowly activating current (I Ks), mediated by hERG1 and KCNQ1 channels, respectively, but they are much smaller outward potassium currents relative to I to, f and I Kur [XREF_BIBR, XREF_BIBR, XREF_BIBR, XREF_BIBR, XREF_BIBR]."
