Abstract excerpt
Mutations in KCNE2, which encodes the minK-related protein 1 (MiRP1), are associated with an increased risk of arrhythmias; however, the underlying mechanisms are unknown. MiRP1 is thought to associate with many K+ channel alpha-subunits, including HERG K+ channels, which have a major role in suppressing arrhythmias initiated by premature beats. In this study we have investigated in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO)...
