| Function | Pore-forming subunit of the voltage-gated potassium (Kv) M- channel which is responsible for the M-current, a key controller of neuronal excitability (PubMed:16319223, PubMed:27564677, PubMed:28793216, PubMed:9872318). M-channel is composed of pore-forming subunits KCNQ2 and KCNQ3 assembled as heterotetramers (PubMed:14534157, PubMed:16319223, PubMed:27564677, PubMed:9872318). The native M-current has 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 (PubMed:14534157, PubMed:16319223, PubMed:28793216). M-channel is selectively permeable in vitro to other cations besides potassium, in decreasing order of affinity K(+) > Rb(+) > Cs(+) > Na(+) (PubMed:28793216). M-channel association with SLC5A3/SMIT1 alters channel ion selectivity, increasing Na(+) and Cs(+) permeation relative to K(+) (PubMed:28793216). Suppressed by activation of M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (PubMed:10713961). KCNQ3 also associates with KCNQ5 to form a functional channel in vitro and may also contribute to the M-current in brain (PubMed:11159685). |

Foundational characteristics of cancer include proliferation, angiogenesis, migration, evasion of apoptosis, and cellular immortality. Find key markers for these cellular processes and antibodies to detect them.
The SUMOplot™ Analysis Program predicts and scores sumoylation sites in your protein. SUMOylation is a post-translational modification involved in various cellular processes, such as nuclear-cytosolic transport, transcriptional regulation, apoptosis, protein stability, response to stress, and progression through the cell cycle.
The Autophagy Receptor Motif Plotter predicts and scores autophagy receptor binding sites in your protein. Identifying proteins connected to this pathway is critical to understanding the role of autophagy in physiological as well as pathological processes such as development, differentiation, neurodegenerative diseases, stress, infection, and cancer.
