Mechanism of hERG inhibition by gating-modifier toxin, APETx1, deduced by functional characterization

Human ether- à-go-go-related gene potassium channel 1 (hERG) is a voltage-gated potassium channel, the voltage-sensing domain (VSD) of which is targeted by a gating-modifier toxin, APETx1. APETx1 is a 42-residue p...
