Generic protein structure example

Potassium/sodium hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated channel 4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HCN4 gene.[1][2][3][4]

There are four HCN channels. HCN4 is prominently expressed in the pace maker region of the mammalian heart.[5] Some humans with bradycardia and Sick sinus syndrome have been shown to have mutations in their HCN4 gene.[6][7][8] The role of HCN channels in autonomic control of heart rate is currently a matter of ongoing investigation.[9][10][11][12]

Interactions

HCN4 has been shown to interact with HCN2.[13]
