ERG-1 Antibody / KCNH2

KCNH2, also known as ERG-1, H-ERG or KV11.1, encodes the pore-forming subunit of a rapidly activating-delayed rectifier potassium channel. It is mapped to 7q36.1. KCNH2 forms the major portion of one of the ion channel proteins (the 'rapid' delayed rectifier current (IKr) ) that conducts potassium (K+) ions out of the muscle cells of the heart (cardiac myocytes), and this current is critical in correctly timing the return to the resting state (repolarization) of the cell membrane during the cardiac action potential. Whatï¿½s more, KCNH2 channels show gating properties consistent with many of the outwardly rectifying potassium channels, but they also have an inactivation mechanism that attenuates efflux during depolarization.
