Abstract excerpt
We have investigated the possible implication of the cell cycle-regulated K(+) channel ether à go-go (EAG) in cell proliferation and transformation. We show that transfection of EAG into mammalian cells confers a transformed phenotype. In addition, human EAG mRNA is detected in several somatic cancer cell lines, despite being preferentially expressed in brain among normal tissues. Inhibition of EAG expression in...
