PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

STRUCTURE

motifs/domains	a N terminal cytoplasmic domain with PAS (PER-ARNT-SIM) dimerization domain and PAC (PAS-associated C-terminal) domain
	six transmembrane domains the fourth being the voltage-sensor site
	a pore forming domain (H5) between the fifth and sixth transmembrane domains
	C-terminal region containing a cyclic-nucleotide-binding homology domain (CNBHD) and C-linker that couples the CNBHD to the pore

mono polymer

homomer , heteromer , tetramer

HOMOLOGY

Homologene

FAMILY	potassium channel family
	H (EAG) subfamily

CATEGORY

transport channel

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	plasma membrane
	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm,organelle,membrane

basic FUNCTION	pore forming (alpha) subunit of voltage-gated potassium channel
	forms the ion channel responsible for the rapidly acting delayed rectifier potassium current, I(Kr), and its blockade is a significant contributor to prolongation of the QT interval (Yoshida 2006)
	selectively involved in proliferation of distinct uterine cancer cells (Suzuki 2004)

CELLULAR PROCESS

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

facilitated diffusion transport

text	prolactine secretion

PATHWAY

metabolism

signaling

a component	KCNH2, KCNH7
	part of ERG channels control the excitability of medial vestibular nucleus neurones, their discharge regularity and probably their resonance properties (Pessia 2008)

INTERACTION

DNA
