Kv11.1 Overexpression Lysate

HEK293T cells in 10-cm dishes were transiently transfected with a non-lipid polymer transfection reagent specially designed and manufactured for large volume DNA transfection. Transfected cells were cultured for 48hrs before collection. The cells were lysed in modified RIPA buffer (25mM Tris-HCl pH7.6, 150mM NaCl, 1% NP-40, 1mM EDTA, 1xProteinase inhibitor cocktail mix, 1mM PMSF and 1mM Na3VO4, and then centrifuged to clarify the lysate. Protein concentration was measured by BCA protein assay kit.This product is manufactured by and sold under license from OriGene Technologies and its use is limited solely for research purposes.

Human ether-a-go-go related gene (HERG) encodes the pore-forming subunit of the delayed rectifier potassium channel IKr. There are two N-terminal splice variants of HERG include the full-length isoform 1 alpha and the shorter isoform 1 beta. Isoform 1 beta lacks the PAS motif and deactivates at a faster rate than isoform 1alpha. Residues within the C-terminal play a role in channel expression and channel gating, including voltage-dependent activation. HERG is expressed in the heart and is more abundantly expressed in the ventricles than in the atria. Mutations in the gene encoding HERG increase beat-to-beat variability and early after depolarization. These fluctuations facilitate the genesis and propagation of premature heartbeats associated with inheritable long QT syndrome type 2 and short QT syndrome type 1.
