Potassium/sodium hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated channel 4 ELISA Kit Potassium/sodium hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated channel 4 Recombinant Potassium/sodium hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated channel 4 Antibody | HCN4: Hyperpolarization-activated ion channel with very slow activation and inactivation exhibiting weak selectivity for potassium over sodium ions. May contribute to the native pacemaker currents in heart (If) and in neurons (Ih). Activated by cAMP. May mediate responses to sour stimuli. Defects in HCN4 are a cause of sick sinus syndrome type 2 (SSS2); also known as atrial fibrillation with brady >>> arrhythmia or familial sinus bradycardia. The term 'sick sinus syndrome' encompasses a variety of conditions caused by sinus node dysfunction. The most common clinical manifestations are syncope, presyncope, dizziness, and fatigue. Electrocardiogram typically shows sinus bradycardia, sinus arrest, and/or sinoatrial block. Episodes of atrial tachycardias coexisting with sinus bradycardia ('tachycardia-bradycardia syndrome') are also common in this disorder. SSS occurs most often in the elderly associated with underlying heart disease or previous cardiac surgery, but can also occur in the fetus, infant, or child without heart disease or other contributing factors, in which case it is considered to be a congenital disorder. Defects in HCN4 are the cause of Brugada syndrome type 8 (BRGDA8). A tachyarrhythmia characterized by right bundle branch block and ST segment elevation on an electrocardiogram (ECG). It can cause the ventricles to beat so fast that the blood is prevented from circulating efficiently in the body. When this situation occurs (called ventricular fibrillation), the individual will faint and may die in a few minutes if the heart is not reset. Belongs to the potassium channel HCN family.
