Abstract excerpt
The article evaluated the inhibitory action of procaine on wild-type and mutated HERG potassium channel current (I(HERG)) to determine whether mutations in the S6 region are important for the inhibition of I(HERG) by procaine. HERG channels (WT, Y652A, and F656A) were expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes and studied using the standard two-microelectrode voltage-clamp technique. The results revealed that WT HERG is...
