Molecular mechanisms underlying the pilsicainide-induced stabilization of hERG proteins in transfected mammalian cells

Background: Pilsicainide, classified as a relatively selective Na+ channel blocker, also has an inhibitory action on the rapidly-activating delayed-rectifier K+ current (IKr) through human ether-a-go-go-related gene (hERG) channels. We studied the effects of chronic exposure to pilsicainide on the e...
