Abstract excerpt
G628S is a mutation in the signature sequence that forms the selectivity filter of the human ether-a-go-go-related gene (hERG) channel (GFG) and is associated with long-QT2 syndrome. G628S channels are known to have a dominant-negative effect on hERG currents, and the mutant is therefore thought to be nonfunctional. This study aims to assess the physiological mechanism that prevents the surface-expressing G628S...
