Berberine Induces hERG Channel Deficiency through Trafficking Inhibition
Aims: The human ether-a-go-go-related gene (hERG) encodes the α subunit of the IKr, which plays an essential role in repolarization of action potentials. hERG channels are targeted by various pro-arrhythmic drugs. Berberine (BBR) was previously found to acutely inhibit hERG currents and prolong acti...
