About KCNQ3

Cytogenetic location: 8q24.22 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 8:132,120,861-132,481,095 (from NCBI)

This gene has 8 transcripts (splice variants), 193 orthologues, 31 paralogues and is associated with 5 phenotypes. Biased expression in brain (RPKM 5.1) and adrenal (RPKM 0.4).

Summary

This gene encodes a protein that functions in the regulation of neuronal excitability. The encoded protein forms an M-channel by associating with the products of the related KCNQ2 or KCNQ5 genes, which both encode integral membrane proteins. M-channel currents are inhibited by M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors and are activated by retigabine, a novel anti-convulsant drug. Defects in this gene are a cause of benign familial neonatal convulsions type 2 (BFNC2), also known as epilepsy, benign neonatal type 2 (EBN2). Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, May 2014]
