Abstract excerpt
Loss of function mutations in the human ether-a-go-go-related gene (hERG) cause long QT syndrome type 2 (LQT2). Most LQT2 patients are heterozygous mutation carriers in which the mutant hERG exerts potent dominant-negative effects. 1, 3-bis-(2-hydroxy-5-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-urea (NS1643) is known to enhance IKr in WT-hERG. We investigated its actions following lipofectamine-induced expression of both mutant...
