Gene Name
KCNQ2
Organism
Homo sapiens (Human)
Length
872 amino acids
AlphaFoldDB
AF-O43526-F1-model_v4.pdb
Function
Associates with KCNQ3 to form a potassium channel with essentially identical properties to the channel underlying the native M-current;a slowly activating and deactivating potassium conductance which plays a critical role in determining the subthreshold electrical excitability of neurons as well as the responsiveness to synaptic inputs. Therefore;it is important in the regulation of neuronal excitability. KCNQ2/KCNQ3 current is blocked by linopirdine and XE991;and activated by the anticonvulsant retigabine. As the native M-channel;the potassium channel composed of KCNQ2 and KCNQ3 is also suppressed by activation of the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor CHRM1. KCNQ2-KCNQ3 channel is selectively permeable to other cations besides potassium;in decreasing order of affinity K(+) > Rb(+) > Cs(+) > Na(+). Associates with Na(+)-coupled myo-inositol symporter SLC5A3 forming a coregulatory complex that alters ion selectivity;increasing Na(+) and Cs(+) permeation relative to K(+) permeation

Developmental And Epileptic Encephalopathy 7 and Seizures;Benign Familial Neonatal;1
Location
In adult and fetal brain. Highly expressed in areas containing neuronal cell bodies; low in spinal cord and corpus callosum. Isoform 2 is preferentially expressed in differentiated neurons. Isoform 6 is prominent in fetal brain; undifferentiated neuroblastoma cells and brain tumors.
