General annotation (Comments)

Function

Pore-forming (alpha) subunit of voltage-gated inwardly rectifying potassium channel. Channel properties are modulated by cAMP and subunit assembly. Mediates the rapidly activating component of the delayed rectifying potassium current in heart (IKr). Isoform 3 has no channel activity by itself, but modulates channel characteristics when associated with isoform 1.

Subunit structure

The potassium channel is probably composed of a homo- or heterotetrameric complex of pore-forming alpha subunits that can associate with modulating beta subunits. Heteromultimer with KCNH6/ERG2 and KCNH7/ERG3. Interacts with ALG10B By similarity. Heteromultimer with KCNE1 and KCNE2. Ref.15 Ref.16

Subcellular location

Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.

Tissue specificity

Highly expressed in heart and brain.

Domain

The segment S4 is probably the voltage-sensor and is characterized by a series of positively charged amino acids at every third position.

Post-translational modification

Phosphorylated on serine and threonine residues. Phosphorylation by PKA inhibits ion conduction. Ref.14 Ref.17

Involvement in disease

Defects in KCNH2 are the cause of long QT syndrome type 2 (LQT2) [MIM:613688]. Long QT syndromes are heart disorders characterized by a prolonged QT interval on the ECG and polymorphic ventricular arrhythmias. They cause syncope and sudden death in response to exercise or emotional stress. Deafness is often associated with LQT2. Ref.2 Ref.19 Ref.20 Ref.21 Ref.22 Ref.23 Ref.24 Ref.25 Ref.26 Ref.27 Ref.28 Ref.29 Ref.30 Ref.31 Ref.32 Ref.34 Ref.36 Ref.38 Ref.39 Ref.41

Defects in KCNH2 are the cause of short QT syndrome type 1 (SQT1) [MIM:609620]. Short QT syndromes are heart disorders characterized by idiopathic persistently and uniformly short QT interval on ECG in the absence of structural heart disease in affected individuals. They cause syncope and sudden death. Ref.40 Ref.42

Sequence similarities

Contains 1 cyclic nucleotide-binding domain.

Contains 1 PAC (PAS-associated C-terminal) domain.

Contains 1 PAS (PER-ARNT-SIM) domain.

Sequence caution

The sequence AAC69709.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Cloning artifact.

The sequence AAH01914.2 differs from that shown. Reason: Cloning artifact.

The sequence BAB19682.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Cloning artifact.

The sequence CAA09232.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous gene model prediction.
