Summary: Enables calmodulin binding activity; potassium channel activity; and voltage-gated monoatomic ion channel activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including chemical synaptic transmission; establishment of protein localization; and nervous system development. Located in axon initial segment; node of Ranvier; and plasma membrane. Part of voltage-gated potassium channel complex. Is active in cell surface. 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).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
