KCNQ2 Antibody

• Background:

  The M channel is a slowly activating and deactivating potassium channel that plays a critical role in the regulation of neuronal excitability. The M channel is formed by the association of the protein encoded by KCNQ2 and a related protein encoded by the KCNQ3 gene, both integral membrane proteins. M channel currents are inhibited by M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors and activated by retigabine, a novel anti-convulsant drug. Defects in KCNQ2 are a cause of benign familial neonatal convulsions type 1 (BFNC), also known as epilepsy, benign neonatal type 1 (EBN1) .The M channel is a slowly activating and deactivating potassium channel that plays a critical role in the regulation of neuronal excitability.

At least five transcript variants encoding five different isoforms have been found for this gene.
