KCNH2

Voltage-gated inwardly rectifying potassium channel KCNH2 also known as hERG (the human Ether-à-go-go-Related Gene) is a protein encoded by the gene KCNH2 Kv11.1, the α subunit of a potassium ion channel. This ion channel (sometimes simply denoted as 'hERG') is best known for its contribution to the electrical activity of the heart: the hERG channel…
