Values are means ± SE. V½, voltage at which peak tail current is half-maximal; k, slope factor; WT, wild type. G601S and N470D tail currents were recorded after pharmacological correction by E4031 followed by drug washout. Data for N470D and G601S hERG in human embryonic kidney (HEK)-293 cells are from published literature (*Ref. 45 and †Ref. 31).
