KCNH2( Human )
potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily H member 2
Alias
ERG-1|ERG1|H-ERG|HERG|HERG1|Kv11.1|LQT2|SQT1
This gene encodes a voltage-activated potassium channel belonging to the eag family. It shares sequence similarity with the Drosophila ether-a-go-go (eag) gene. Mutations in this gene can cause long QT syndrome type 2 (LQT2). Transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].
