The LQT4 genes are ANK2 and ANKB, and code for proteins called [[ankyrins]]. They are proteins which bind to several important ion channel proteins such as the chloride-bicarbonate anion exchanger, [[ATPase]], calcium release channels, and the voltage gated sodium channel. A mutation in the LTQ4 genes that code for ankyrins can cause increased intracellular concentrations of [[calcium]], and can therefore cause fatal [[arrhythmia]]s. | |||

Overview
LQT4 Subtype
The LQT4 genes are ANK2 and ANKB, and code for proteins called ankyrins. They are proteins which bind to several important ion channel proteins such as the chloride-bicarbonate anion exchanger, ATPase, calcium release channels, and the voltage gated sodium channel. A mutation in the LTQ4 genes that code for ankyrins can cause increased intracellular concentrations of calcium, and can therefore cause fatal arrhythmias.
