"The ability of Cd 2+ to increase HERG K + current appeared critically dependent upon channel inactivation, and both the increase in current and the accelerated rate of current decay were lost when ina[MISSING/INVALID CREDENTIALS: limited to 200 char for Elsevier]"

reach
"A simple mechanism by which Cd 2+ could increase HERG currents is to decrease the probability that the channels inactivate."

reach
"Surprisingly, 200 mu M Cd 2+ enhanced HERG outward currents at most tested membrane potentials."

reach
"At low concentrations (10-200 mu M), Cd 2+ enhanced HERG currents without shifting the voltage dependence of activation."

reach
"The present study illustrates that low concentrations of extracellular Cd 2+ modulated voltage dependent HERG inactivation independently of channel activation."
