Tumor cell-selective apoptosis induction through targeting of K_V10.1 via bifunctional TRAIL antibody

Molecular Cancer, 2011
Background The search for strategies to target ion channels for therapeutic applications has become of increasing interest. Especially, the potassium channel KV10.1 (Ether-á-go-go) is attractive as target since this surface protein is virtually not ...

Position of Premature Termination Codons Determines Susceptibility of hERG Mutations to Nonsense-Mediated mRNA Decay in Long QT Syndrome

, 2014
The degradation of human ether-a-go-go-related gene (hERG, KCNH2) transcripts containing premature termination codon (PTC)mutations by nonsense-mediatedmRNA decay (NMD) is an importantmechanismof long QT syndrome type 2 (LQT2).

Toward Complete CO2 Electroconversion: Status, Challenges, and Perspectives

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
Electrocatalytic CO2 reduction and CO2 batteries face challenges in achieving complete CO2 conversion with high conversion rates and Faradaic efficiency simultaneously. Existing systems compromise one for the other with incomplete CO2 conversion and inefficiencies, hindering practical applications. This perspective highlights state‐of‐the‐art progress,

Robot‐Assisted Measurement of the Critical Micelle Concentration

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2025.
The study introduces (SIMO) smart integrator for manual operations, a robotic platform for precise, repeatable determination of (CMC) critical micelle concentration in surfactants. SIMO reduces standard deviation by 80% compared to manual methods. Surfactant, dye, and diluent selection, robotic protocols, and data handling are detailed.

Electropharmacological Effects of a Spironolactone Derivative, Potassium Canrenoate, Assessed in the Halothane-Anesthetized Canine Model

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2004
While aldosterone receptor blockers improve survival of patients with congestive heart failure, spironolactone and its derivatives were recently shown to block ether-a-go-go-related gene (HERG) channels and native IKs and IKr currents in guinea pig ...

Characterization of the novel mutant A78T-HERG from a long QT syndrome type 2 patient: Instability of the mutant protein and stabilization by heat shock factor 1

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2016
Background: The human ether-a-go-go-related gene (HERG) encodes the α-subunit of rapidly activating delayed-rectifier potassium channels. Mutations in this gene cause long QT syndrome type 2 (LQT2).

Common variants in the hERG (KCNH2) voltage-gated potassium channel are associated with altered fasting and glucose-stimulated plasma incretin and glucagon responses

BMC Genetics, 2018
Background Patients with long QT syndrome due to rare loss-of-function mutations in the human ether-á-go-go-related gene (hERG) have prolonged QT interval, risk of arrhythmias, increased secretion of insulin and incretins and impaired glucagon response ...

The Chemistry and Biology of the Tetrodotoxin Natural Product Family

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
Tetrodotoxin is best known as the poison of the pufferfish, which is a delicacy in Japanese cuisine. Its toxicity arises from the selective blockage of NaV channels, which is depicted for the NaV1.7 pore, highlighting the DEKA motif, which permeates sodium ions.
