Gene Information

human ... KCNQ5(56479)

General description

KCNQ5 is subunit one of a voltage gated potassium channel expressed in the brain and other tissues. KCNQ5 forms the complete channel with KCNQ3. This channel gives rise to the "M" potassium current which is a slowly activating and deactivating current. This current plays a critical role in determining the subthreshold electrical excitability of neurons. KCNQ5 is strongly expressed in the brain but also in skeletal muscle and vascular smooth muscle cells. KCNQ5 activity is also regulated via phosphorylation by PKC and that kinase regulation may be a key to regulating excitability in neurons and muscle cells.

Specificity

Western Blotting Analysis was tested on overxpressing transfected cell lysate.

Immunogen

KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to the Human Potassium Channel KCNQ5.
