The S4 domain of HCN pacemaker channels critically controls the voltage dependence of channel opening but is not involved in regulating activation kinetics.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
No immediate clinical implications for HCN modulation; leaves open S4 as a target for future mechanistic and therapeutic studies.
Vaca et al. (2000) studied this question.
