General annotation (Comments)

Function	Probably important in the regulation of neuronal excitability. Associates with KCNQ3 to form a potassium channel with essentially identical properties to the channel underlying the native M-current, a slowly activating and deactivating potassium conductance which plays a critical role in determining the subthreshold electrical excitability of neurons as well as the responsiveness to synaptic inputs. KCNQ2/KCNQ3 current is blocked by linopirdine and XE991, and activated by the anticonvulsant retigabine. Muscarinic agonist oxotremorine-M strongly suppress KCNQ2/KCNQ3 current in cells in which cloned KCNQ2/KCNQ3 channels were coexpressed with M1 muscarinic receptors.
Subunit structure	Heteromultimer with KCNQ3. May associate with KCNE2.
Subcellular location	Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
Tissue specificity	In adult and fetal brain. Highly expressed in areas containing neuronal cell bodies, low in spinal chord and corpus callosum. Isoform 2 is preferentially expressed in differentiated neurons. Isoform 6 is prominent in fetal brain, undifferentiated neuroblastoma cells and brain tumors. Ref.19
Domain	The segment S4 is probably the voltage-sensor and is characterized by a series of positively charged amino acids at every third position By similarity.
Post-translational modification	In Xenopus oocytes KCNQ2/KCNQ3 heteromeric current can be increased by intracellular cyclic AMP, an effect that depends on phosphorylation of Ser-52 in the N-terminus region.
Involvement in disease	Seizures, benign familial neonatal 1 (BFNS1) [MIM:121200]: A disorder characterized by clusters of seizures occurring in the first days of life. Most patients have spontaneous remission by 12 months of age and show normal psychomotor development. Some rare cases manifest an atypical severe phenotype associated with epileptic encephalopathy and psychomotor retardation. The disorder is distinguished from benign familial infantile seizures by an earlier age at onset. In some patients, neonatal convulsions are followed later in life by myokymia, a benign condition characterized by spontaneous involuntary contractions of skeletal muscles fiber groups that can be observed as vermiform movement of the overlying skin. Electromyography typically shows continuous motor unit activity with spontaneous oligo- and multiplet-discharges of high intraburst frequency (myokymic discharges). Some patients may have isolated myokymia. Note: The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. Ref.2 Ref.23 Ref.24 Ref.25 Ref.27 Epileptic encephalopathy, early infantile, 7 (EIEE7) [MIM:613720]: An autosomal dominant seizure disorder characterized by infantile onset of refractory seizures with resultant delayed neurologic development and persistent neurologic abnormalities. Note: The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. Ref.26 Ref.27
Miscellaneous	Inclusion of isoform 6 in heteromultimers results in attenuation of potassium current. Prominent expression of isoform 6 in the developing brain may alter firing repertoires of immature neurons excitability to provide cues for proliferation rather than differentiation. Mutagenesis experiments were carried out in Xenopus oocytes by coexpression of either KCNQ2(mut) and KCNQ3 at the ratio of 1:1, or of KCNQ2(mut), KCNQ2(wt) and KCNQ3 at the ratio of 1:1:2, to mimic the situation in a heterozygous patient with BFNC1 disease.
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the potassium channel family. KQT (TC 1.A.1.15) subfamily. Kv7.2/KCNQ2 sub-subfamily. [View classification]

This entry describes 6 isoforms produced by alternative splicing. [Align] [Select]

Note: Additional isoforms seem to exist.

Isoform 1 (identifier: O43526-1)

This isoform has been chosen as the 'canonical' sequence. All positional information in this entry refers to it. This is also the sequence that appears in the downloadable versions of the entry.

Isoform 2 (identifier: O43526-2)

The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows:
     417-434: Missing.

Isoform 3 (identifier: O43526-3)

The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows:
     373-382: Missing.
     417-434: Missing.

Note: May be produced at very low levels due to a premature stop codon in the mRNA, leading to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay.
