Abstract excerpt
The I(KS) K(+) channel plays a major role in repolarizing the cardiac action potential. It consists of an assembly of two structurally distinct alpha and beta subunits called KCNQ1 and KCNE1, respectively. Using two different expression systems, Xenopus oocytes and Chinese hamster ovary cells, we investigated the effects of external protons on homomeric and heteromeric KCNQ1 channels. External acidification (from...
