Abstract excerpt
The slow delayed rectifier K(+) current (I(Ks)) is a major determinant of action potential repolarization in the heart. I(Ks) channels are formed by coassembly of pore-forming KCNQ1 alpha-subunits and ancillary KCNE1 beta-subunits. Two gain of function mutations in KCNQ1 subunits (S140G and V141M...
