Human KvLQT1/minK Potassium Channel EZCells™
The human KCNQ1 gene encodes the pore-forming subunit of a voltage-gated potassium channel. Co-expression with minK, an auxiliary subunit, recapitulates native function in heterologous expression (CHO cells). KvLQT1/minK channels expressed in the heart are safety targets in congenital and acquired long QT syndromes. Synonyms: Kv7.1/minK Host cell: CHO-K1, division-arrested Gene name: KCNQ1/KCNE1 Mycoplasma status: Negative (M…
