hERG (the human Ether-à-go-go-Related Gene)，人延迟整流钾离子通道基因，是指基因KCNH2。该基因编码的蛋白质被称为 K_v11.1，是钾离子通道(英语：potassium ion channel)的α亚基（英语：alpha subunit）。该基因编码的钾离子通道（有时简单地使用'hERG'表示）最为著名的是其对心脏的电位活性，可协调心跳（即，hERG通道介导在心脏动作电位中延迟整流钾电流--I_Kr的复极化）。当这个通道介导电流通过细胞膜的能力受到抑制或妥协让步时，不论是由于药物的作用还是某些家族的基因突变引发，^[1]，都会导致潜在的致命疾病——QT间期延长综合症。若干临床上成功的上市药物有抑制hERG的趋势，导致其在使用过程中也伴随着猝死的药物不良反应风险。因此，在药物研发过程中要尽量避免药物对抗靶标(英语：antitarget)的hERG抑制。^[2] hERG还跟神经系统的某些细胞功能的调节^[3] 以及白血病细胞癌症特性的建立和维持^[4]有关。

命名

1994年4月，威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校的杰夫（英语：Jeff Warmke)和巴里（英语：Barry Ganetzky）在论文中首次命名和描述了hERG基因。^[5] hERG基因是首次发现于果蝇的Ether-à-go-go基因的人类同源类似物。 Ether-à-go-go基因由现在任职于希望城国家医学中心（英语：City of Hope National Medical Center）的威廉·d·卡普兰在1960年代命名。当使用乙醚麻醉拥有 Ether-à-go-go基因突变的苍蝇时，它们的腿就开始颤抖，就像当时流行于加利福尼亚西好莱坞的威士忌摇摆舞（英语：Whisky A Go-Go）夜总会的舞蹈。

Interactions
