Proliferative role of Kv11 channels in murine arteries [PDF]
, 2017 K+ channels encoded by the ether-a-go-go related gene (ERG1 or KCNH2) are important determinants of the cardiac action potential. Expression of both cardiac isoforms (ERG1 and ERG1b) were identified in murine portal vein and distinctive voltage-gated K ...
