Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the delayed rectifier K+ channel subunit KvLQT1 have been identified as responsible for both Romano-Ward (RW) and Jervell and Lange-Nielsen (JLN) inherited long QT syndromes. We report the molecular cloning of a human KvLQT1 isoform that is expressed in several human tissues including heart. Expression studies revealed that the association of KvLQT1 with another subunit, IsK, reconstitutes a channel...
