Abstract excerpt
The pairing of KCNQ1 and KCNE1 subunits together mediates the cardiac slow delayed rectifier current (I Ks ), which is partly responsible for cardiomyocyte repolarization and physiologic shortening of the cardiac action potential. Mefenamic acid, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, has been identified as an I Ks activator. Here, we provide a biophysical and pharmacological characterization of mefenamic acid's...
