A Receptor-Independent Effect of Estrone Sulfate on the hERG Channel

A Receptor-Independent Effect of Estrone Sulfate on the hERG Channel

We recently reported that physiological concentrations of 17β-estradiol partially down-regulate cardiac rapidly-activating delayed rectifier K+ currents (hERG currents) independently of estrogen-receptor signaling. To determine if other estrogens have the same effect as that of 17β-estradiol, we inv...
