Dysfunction of Delayed Rectifier Potassium Channels in an Inherited Cardiac Arrhythmia

MC Sanguinetti - Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 1999 - Wiley Online Library
The rapid (lKr) and slow (IKs) delayed rectifier K+ currents are key regulators of cardiac
repolarization. HERG encodes the Kr channel, and KVLQT1 and hminK encode subunits …
