Kv7.3 (KvLQT3) is a potassium channel protein coded for by the gene KCNQ3.[5]

It is associated with benign familial neonatal epilepsy[6] and autism.[7][8]

The M channel is a slowly activating and deactivating potassium channel that plays a critical role in the regulation of neuronal excitability. The M channel is formed by the association of the protein encoded by this gene and one of two related proteins encoded by the KCNQ2 and KCNQ5 genes, both integral membrane proteins. M channel currents are inhibited by M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors and activated by retigabine, a novel anti-convulsant drug. Defects in this gene are a cause of benign familial neonatal convulsions type 2 (BFNC2), also known as epilepsy, benign neonatal type 2 (EBN2).[5]

Interactions

KvLQT3 has been shown to interact with KCNQ5.[9]
