1 One example of a clinically important compound class that potently inhibits hERG trafficking are cardiac glycosides. Glycosides ETS transcription factor ERG Homo sapiens
2 We have shown previously that inhibition of hERG trafficking by cardiac glycosides is initiated via direct block of Na(+)/K(+) pumps and not via off-target interactions with hERG or any other protein. Glycosides ETS transcription factor ERG Homo sapiens
3 Our data suggest a novel mechanism for drug-induced trafficking inhibition in which cardiac glycosides produce a [K(+)](i)-mediated conformational defect directly in the hERG channel protein. Glycosides ETS transcription factor ERG Homo sapiens
