Cat. No. CSC-RI0023
Description This cell line is engineered to overexpress human KCNQ1/MINK1.
Background KCNQ1 and minK form the slow delayed rectifier potassium current, IKs in the heart. This multimeric ion channel contributes to cardiac action potential repolarization and determines the heartbeat rate. Mutations in either KCNQ1 or minK that reduce IKs have been shown to cause long-QT syndrome (LQTS), a disorder of ventricular repolarization that can result in cardiac arrhythmia and sudden death. A well-recognized potential treatment for LQTS caused by reduction of IKs is to enhance functional activation of cardiac KCNQ1/minK channels.
