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 this gene and one of two related proteins
encoded by the KCNQ2 and KCNQ5 genes, 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 this gene are a cause of benign
familial neonatal convulsions type 2 (BFNC2), also known as
epilepsy, benign neonatal type 2 (EBN2).1) Bailey, S.D., et al. Diabetes Care (2010) In press :
