KCNH2

A gene on chromosome 7q36.1 that encodes an alpha subunit of voltage-gated, potassium channels of the eag family.

Molecular pathology
KCNH2 mutations can cause long QT syndrome type 2.

Based on these results, Tripos' Center for Advanced Technology in San Francisco will develop the predictive model and employ it to examine client's data resulting from ChanTest's analysis of lead candidates to identify any hERG ion channel liability.
Bioinformatics--transforming data into models: modeling techniques of biosystems are still in their infancy, but islands of successful applications are beginning to appear that will drive the development of stronger, more refined tools
Electrophysiologic and biophysical characterization of expressed HERG in Xenopus oocytes established that HERG encodes the rapidly activating delayed-rectifier potassium current [I.sup.Kr] (Figure 3).[43,44] Electrophysiologic studies of LQTS-associated mutations showed that they act through either a loss-of-function or a dominant-negative mechanism.[45] In addition, protein trafficking abnormalities have been shown to occur.[46,47] This channel has been shown to coassemble with [Beta]-subunits for normal function, similar to that seen in [I.sub.Ks].
Genotype and Severity of Long QT Syndrome
Further research suggested that while HERG's protein product turns up on other cells of the body, it is usually found on the surface of heart cells.

Other reports suggested that ginsenoside Rg1 increased the outward hERG current, and it provided potential protection against myocardial infarction [33].

OTHER than a dizzying motorcycle ride through the alleys of a Moroccan marketplace, Stephen Spielberg's big screen adaption of Herg's fearless reporter is a damp squib.

And of course, there's Tintin, a work of genius by the Belgian comic writer and artist Herg and the main reason for my trip, organised to mark Wednesday's release of the new film version overseen by Steven Spielberg.
TIN'S BRUSSELS; Have an amaxing adventure in.
SINCE his first appearance in 1929 Tintin, creator Herg's plucky reporter with the distinctive ginger quiff, has travelled the world uncovering dastardly deeds with intrepid pooch Snowy by his side.

And nobody is more excited about all this than a one-time roving reporter and lifelong Tintin devotee who is coming to the North East at the weekend to talk about the new film, about Tintin creator Herg and about his own book, Tintin: the Complete Companion, newly reissued by publisher Egmont.

REVIEW The Adventures of Tintin - The Secret of the Unicorn 3D (PG) WRITING under the pen name of Herg, it's 82 years since the world was introduced to Les Aventures de Tintin created by Belgian artist Georges Rmi (1907-1983).
