Disease relevance of KCNE2

  • Mutations in minK-related peptide 1 (MiRP1), the product of the KCNE2 gene, have been associated with malignant ventricular arrhythmia syndromes related to impaired repolarization [1].
  • BACKGROUND: Mutations in KCNE2 have been linked to long-QT syndrome (LQT6), yet KCNE2 protein expression in the ventricle and its functional role in native channels are not clear [2].
 

High impact information on KCNE2

 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of KCNE2

  • METHODS AND RESULTS: We detected KCNE2 protein in human, dog, and rat ventricles in Western blot experiments [2].
