Validated All-in-One™ qPCR Primer for KCNH1(NM_172362.3) Search again
By default, qPCR primer pairs are designed to measure the expression level of the splice variant (accession number) you selected for this gene WITHOUT consideration of other possible variants of this gene. If this gene has multiple variants, and you would like to measure the expression levels of one particular variant, multiple variants, or all variants, please contact us for a custom service project at inquiry@genecopoeia.com.
Summary
Voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channels represent the most complex class of voltage-gated ion channels from both functional and structural standpoints. Their diverse functions include regulating neurotransmitter release, heart rate, insulin secretion, neuronal excitability, epithelial electrolyte transport, smooth muscle contraction, and cell volume. This gene encodes a member of the potassium channel, voltage-gated, subfamily H. This member is a pore-forming (alpha) subunit of a voltage-gated non-inactivating delayed rectifier potassium channel. It is activated at the onset of myoblast differentiation. The gene is highly expressed in brain and in myoblasts. Overexpression of the gene may confer a growth advantage to cancer cells and favor tumor cell proliferation.

- Compounds like RPR260243 will be useful for studying the physiological role of HERG and may one day find use in treating cardiac disease.
- identified three putative CaM-binding domains, two in the C-terminus (BD-C1: 674-683, BD-C2: 711-721) and one in the N-terminus (BD-N: 151-165)
- It was shown that short interfering RNA sequences act specifically on EagI, reproducibly induce a significant decrease in the proliferation of tumor cell lines, and do not trigger any observable nonspecific responses.
- High frequency of expression of Eag1 in primary tumours and the restriction of normal expression of the channel to the brain, suggests the application of this protein for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes.

- IGF-1 regulates ether-a-go-go channel activity in breast neoplasms, via an Akt pathway to promote cell proliferation.
- Eag1 is aberrantly expressed in gastric cancer tissues and cell lines and associated with cancer lymph node metastasis and stage and play an important role in the proliferation of gastric cancer cells.
- Eag1 was aberrantly expressed in esophageal squamous cell carcinomas and correlated with poor prognosis after surgery.
- Eag1 and Best1 improve intracellular Ca(2+) signaling and cell volume regulation.
- The results indicate that Eag1 protein expression greatly overlaps with mRNA distribution in human.
- Eag1 interferes with the cellular mechanism for maintaining oxygen homeostasis, increasing HIF-1 activity, and thereby VEGF secretion and tumor vascularization
