Upgraded molecular models of the human KCNQ1 potassium channel
2019-05-24
Abstract excerpt
The voltage-gated potassium channel KCNQ1 (K V 7.1) assembles with the KCNE1 accessory protein to generate the slow delayed rectifier current, I KS , which is critical for membrane repolarization as part of the cardiac action potential. Loss-of-function (LOF) mutations in KCNQ1 are the most common cause of congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS), type 1 LQTS, an inherited genetic predisposition to cardiac arrhythmia...
