Abstract excerpt
The single-pass transmembrane protein KCNE2 or MIRP1 was once thought to be the missing accessory protein that combined with hERG to fully recapitulate the cardiac repolarising current IKr. As a result of this role, it was an easy next step to associate mutations in KCNE2 to long QT syndrome, in which there is delayed repolarisation of the heart. Since that time however, KCNE2 has been shown to modify the...
