Scientific Background

KCNQ genes encode members of the K_V7 K⁺ channels. Structurally, the KCNQ family belongs to the six transmembrane domain category of K⁺ channels. Five members belong to this family (KCNQ1-KCNQ5) of which KCNQ2 to KCNQ5 are expressed in the nervous system^1-3. KCNQ5 is also expressed in visceral smooth muscle⁴ and skeletal muscle⁵.

These channels form subunits of the low threshold voltage gated K⁺ channel. KCNQ2 and KCNQ3 mostly form heteromers to form the M current. KCNQ5 is known to contribute to this current¹.
