Abstract excerpt
The human ERG (hERG) K+ channel has a crucial function in cardiac repolarization, and mutations or channel block can give rise to long QT syndrome and catastrophic ventricular arrhythmias. The cytosolic assembly formed by the Per-Arnt-Sim (PAS) and cyclic nucleotide binding homology (CNBh) domains is the defining structural feature of hERG and related KCNH channels. However, the molecular role of these two...
