KCNQ5
This gene encodes a potassium channel that is thought to be extremely important for controlling neuronal excitability, especially in the sensory cells of the cochlea. M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors inhibit the current produced by this channel, which is then triggered by the novel anti-convulsant medication retigabine. When combined with the protein produced by the KCNQ3 gene, the encoded protein can either form a homomultimeric potassium channel or, less often, a heteromultimeric channel.
