Structural modeling of the hERG potassium channel and associated drug interactions
2021-07-09
Abstract excerpt
The voltage-gated potassium channel, KV11.1, encoded by the human Ether-à-go-go - Related Gene (hERG) is expressed in cardiac myocytes, where it is crucial for the membrane repolarization of the action potential. Gating of hERG channel is characterized by rapid, voltage-dependent, C-type inactivation, which blocks ion conduction and is suggested to involve constriction of the selectivity filter. Mutations S620T a...
