HCN2 Small Molecules and Peptides

Hyperpolarization-activated cation channels of the HCN gene family such as HCN2, contribute to spontaneous rhythmic activity in both heart and brain. HCN2 is a member of a family of pacemaker channels activated by hyperpolarization and regulated by cyclic nucleotides. HCN1 and HCN2 play an important role for motor learning and neuronal integration by cerebellar Purkinje cells; as well as, shaping autonomous activity of single neurons and the periodicity of network oscillations. The HCN1 ...
