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. Defects in this gene are involved in benign familial neonatal seizures 1 (BFNS1) [MIM:121200] and early infantile epileptic encephalopathy 7 (EIEE7) [MIM:613720]. |
