Preferred Label : ERG1 Potassium Channel;
MeSH definition : One of three members of the ether-a-go-go (EAG) POTASSIUM CHANNELS gene family comprising
ether-a-go-go (eag), eag-like (elk) and eag-related (erg) subfamilies. Ether-a-go-go-related
gene 1 (ERG1) also known as KCNH2, encodes the pore-forming subunit of a rapidly activating-delayed
rectifier potassium channel that plays an essential role in the final repolarization
of ventricular action potential. Loss-of-function mutations in human hERG1 is associated
with life-threatening ARRHYTHMIA.;
