    Applications
    The KCNH2 gene is a member of a sizable gene family that codes for the production of potassium channels. Heart muscle contains active channels that are formed using KCNH2 proteins, also referred to as hERG1. In order to keep the heartbeat regular, they are involved in replenishing the cardiac muscle after each beat. In the brain and spinal cord, nerve cells as well as some immune cells generate the KCNH2 protein. Together, the proteins derived from the KCNH2 and KCNE2 genes construct a functioning potassium channel. The KCNH2 gene produces four alpha subunits, which together make up each channel's structure. The KCNE2 gene produces a single beta subunit that binds to the channel and controls its activity. The customized KCNH2 stable cell line can be used in antibody discovery and development, potential drug candidate screening and signaling pathway researches.

    Published Data

    Fig.1 IKr densities in mutated and corrected LQT2-hiPSC-derived CMs.

    Typical current traces in mutant and corrected LQT2-hiPSC-derived CMs are displayed before and after the addition of 1 μM of E-4031; IKr is defined as the E-4031-sensitive current.

    Research Highlights

    Genetic variables have a role in the substantial phenotypic diversity observed in family members with the same mutation in Long QT syndrome (LQTS).

    The objective of this investigation was to examine the biophysical characteristics of a KCNH2 channel with a shortened C-terminus, G1006fs/49, which results in long QT syndrome type II in heterozygous Italian family members.
