Protein Details: Potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily KQT member 5
Protein ID
ICDB_Pro_1541
Protein Name
Potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily KQT member 5
Gene Name
Kcnq5
Organism
Mus musculus (Mouse)
Length
933 amino acids
AlphaFoldDB
AF-Q9JK45-F1-model_v4.pdb
Function
Associates with KCNQ3 to form a potassium channel which contributes to M-type current; a slowly activating and deactivating potassium conductance which plays a critical role in determining the subthreshold electrical excitability of neurons. Therefore; it is important in the regulation of neuronal excitability. May contribute; with other potassium channels; to the molecular diversity of a heterogeneous population of M-channels; varying in kinetic and pharmacological properties; which underlie this physiologically important current
