Abstract excerpt
Gain of function in mutations, D172N and E299V, of Kir2.1 will induce type III short QT syndrome. In our previous work, we had identified that a mixture of traditional Chinese medicine, styrax, is a blocker of Kir2.1. Here, we determined a monomer, hydrocinnamic acid (HA), as the effective component from 18 compounds of styrax. Our data show that HA can inhibit the currents of Kir2.1 channel in both excised...
