Abstract excerpt
The KCNH family of ion channels, comprising ether-à-go-go (EAG), EAG-related gene (ERG), and EAG-like (ELK) K(+)-channel subfamilies, is crucial for repolarization of the cardiac action potential, regulation of neuronal excitability and proliferation of tumour cells. The carboxy-terminal region of KCNH channels contains a cyclic-nucleotide-binding homology domain (CNBHD) and C-linker that couples the CNBHD to the...
