Difference between HERG and Voltage-gated potassium channel

HERG vs. Voltage-gated potassium channel

hERG (the human Ether-à-go-go-Related Gene) is a gene that codes for a protein known as Kv11.1, the alpha subunit of a potassium ion channel. Voltage-gated potassium channels (VGKCs) are transmembrane channels specific for potassium and sensitive to voltage changes in the cell's membrane potential.

Similarities between HERG and Voltage-gated potassium channel

HERG and Voltage-gated potassium channel have 4 things in common (in Unionpedia): Alpha helix, Drosophila, N-terminus, Potassium channel.

Alpha helix

The alpha helix (α-helix) is a common motif in the secondary structure of proteins and is a righthand-spiral conformation (i.e. helix) in which every backbone N−H group donates a hydrogen bond to the backbone C.

Drosophila

Drosophila is a genus of flies, belonging to the family Drosophilidae, whose members are often called "small fruit flies" or (less frequently) pomace flies, vinegar flies, or wine flies, a reference to the characteristic of many species to linger around overripe or rotting fruit.

N-terminus

The N-terminus (also known as the amino-terminus, NH2-terminus, N-terminal end or amine-terminus) is the start of a protein or polypeptide referring to the free amine group (-NH2) located at the end of a polypeptide.

HERG and Voltage-gated potassium channel Comparison

HERG has 32 relations, while Voltage-gated potassium channel has 71. As they have in common 4, the Jaccard index is 3.88% = 4 / (32 + 71).
