General description

ERG1 encodes the pore forming alpha subunit of the voltage-gated channels that conduct the rapid delayed rectifier potassium current, which leads to termination of the cardiac ventricular action potential. A large number of commercially available therapeutic agents (antiarrhythmics, antihistamines, antibiotics and antidepressants) have been shown to preferentially block ERG1 and cause a disorder of cardiac action potential depolarization that predisposes affected individuals to ventricular arrhythmia and sudden death.

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide corresponding to the C-terminus of ERG1 (aa 1145-1159 of HERG1).

Epitope: C-terminus
