Abstract excerpt
The voltage-gated KCNQ1/KCNE1 potassium ion channel complex, forms the slow delayed rectifier (IKs) current in the heart, which plays an important role in heart signaling. The importance of KCNQ1/KCNE1 channel's function is further implicated by the linkage between loss-of-function and gain-of-function mutations in KCNQ1 or KCNE1, and long QT syndromes, congenital atrial fibrillation, and short QT syndrome. Also,...
