epitope corresponding to amino acids 96-270 mapping near the N-terminus of HERG of human origin
Modification Notes
Human ether-a-go-go related gene (HERG) encodes the pore-forming å subunit of the delayed rectifier potassium channel IKr. The HERG subunit contains six transmembrane å-helices with a reentrant “pore-loop” between the fifth and the sixth transmembrane helices. The two N-terminal splice variants of HERG include the full-length isoform 1å and the shorter isoform 1∫. Isoform 1∫ lacks the PAS motif and deactivates at a faster rate than isoform 1å. Residues within the C-terminal play a role in channel expression and channel gating, including voltage-dependent activation. HERG is expressed in the heart and is more abundantly expressed in the ventricles than in the atria. Mutations in the gene encoding HERG increase beat-to-beat variability and early after depolarization. These fluctuations facilitate the genesis and propagation of premature heartbeats associated with inheritable long QT syndrome.
