Expression and functional characterization of the human ether-à-go-go-related gene (HERG) K+ channel cardiac splice variant in Xenopus laevis oocytes.

Abstract excerpt

HERG C(Cardiac), a C-terminal splice variant of the human ether-à-go-go-related gene (HERG A), was identified and found to be 100% homologous to HERG(USO). Real-time polymerase chain reaction data indicated that in the human heart HERG C(Cardiac )mRNA was expressed eight times more than HERG A, whereas in human ventricular tissue it was expressed six times more than HERG A. A HERG C(Cardiac)-green fluorescence...
