The circadian clock regulates KCNH2 (hERG) promoter activity through daily temperature rhythms.
Background: KCNH2 encodes Kv11.1 channel proteins that conduct the rapidly activating delayed-rectifier K+ current (IKr), which is critical for cardiac repolarization. KCNH2 encodes two functional isoforms, Kv11.1a and Kv11.1b, via alternative transcription start sites. Kv11.1a is the principal determinant of cardiac IKr and ventricular repolarization. The circadian clock, a…
