Klotho sensitivity of the hERG channel [PDF]
Klotho, a hormone and enzyme, is a powerful regulator of ageing and life span. Klotho deficiency leads to cardiac arrythmia and sudden cardiac death. We thus explored whether klotho modifies cardiac K+‐channel hERG. Current was determined utilizing dual electrode voltage clamp and hERG protein abundance utilizing immunohistochemistry and ...
