Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens
Potassium/sodium hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated channel 4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HCN4 gene .[ 5] [ 6] [ 7] [ 8]
There are four HCN channels . HCN4 is prominently expressed in the pace maker region of the mammalian heart .[ 9] Some humans with bradycardia and Sick sinus syndrome have been shown to have mutations in their HCN4 gene.[ 10] [ 11] [ 12] The role of HCN channels in autonomic control of heart rate is currently a matter of ongoing investigation.[ 13] [ 14] [ 15] [ 16]
