Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.3.0)
Enables calmodulin binding activity; potassium channel activity; and voltage-gated monoatomic ion channel activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including action potential initiation; chemical synaptic transmission; and nervous system development. Located in plasma membrane. Part of voltage-gated potassium channel complex. Is active in axon initial segment; cell surface; and node of Ranvier. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; midgut; retina; and rib. Used to study benign neonatal seizures. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autistic disorder and benign neonatal seizures. Orthologous to human KCNQ3 (potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily Q member 3).
