Examining the role of phosphorylation on interactions between the cardiac potassium channel alpha-subunits hERG and KvLQT1 /
KvLQT1 and hERG are the [alpha]-subunits of the voltage-gated K⁺ channels which carry the cardiac repolarizing currents IKs and IKr, respectively. These currents function in vivo with some redundancy to maintain appropriate action potential durations (APDs) in cardiomyocytes. As such, protein-protei...
