hERG (the human Ether-à-go-go-Related Gene)，人延遲整流鉀離子通道基因，是指基因KCNH2。該基因編碼的蛋白質被稱為 K_v11.1，是鉀離子通道(英語：potassium ion channel)的α亞基（英語：alpha subunit）。該基因編碼的鉀離子通道（有時簡單地使用'hERG'表示）最為著名的是其對心臟的電位活性，可協調心跳（即，hERG通道介導在心臟動作電位中延遲整流鉀電流--I_Kr的復極化）。當這個通道介導電流通過細胞膜的能力受到抑制或妥協讓步時，不論是由於藥物的作用還是某些家族的基因突變引發，^[1]，都會導致潛在的致命疾病——QT間期延長綜合症。若干臨床上成功的上市藥物有抑制hERG的趨勢，導致其在使用過程中也伴隨着猝死的藥物不良反應風險。因此，在藥物研發過程中要儘量避免藥物對抗靶標(英語：antitarget)的hERG抑制。^[2] hERG還跟神經系統的某些細胞功能的調節^[3] 以及白血病細胞癌症特性的建立和維持^[4]有關。

命名

1994年4月，威斯康星大學麥迪遜分校的傑夫（英語：Jeff Warmke)和巴里（英語：Barry Ganetzky）在論文中首次命名和描述了hERG基因。^[5] hERG基因是首次發現於果蠅的Ether-à-go-go基因的人類同源類似物。 Ether-à-go-go基因由現在任職於希望城國家醫學中心（英語：City of Hope National Medical Center）的威廉·d·卡普蘭在1960年代命名。當使用乙醚麻醉擁有 Ether-à-go-go基因突變的蒼蠅時，它們的腿就開始顫抖，就像當時流行於加利福尼亞西荷里活的威士忌搖擺舞（英語：Whisky A Go-Go）夜總會的舞蹈。
