Name Potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily KQT member 1
Synonyms
  1. IKs producing slow voltage-gated potassium channel subunit alpha KvLQT1
  2. KQT-like 1
  3. Voltage-gated potassium channel subunit Kv7.1
Gene Name KCNQ1
Protein Type Unknown
Biological Properties
General Function Involved in ion channel activity
Specific Function Probably important in cardiac repolarization. Associates with KCNE1 (MinK) to form the I(Ks) cardiac potassium current. Elicits a rapidly activating, potassium-selective outward current. Muscarinic agonist oxotremorine-M strongly suppresses KCNQ1/KCNE1 current in CHO cells in which cloned KCNQ1/KCNE1 channels were coexpressed with M1 muscarinic receptors. May associate also with KCNE3 (MiRP2) to form the potassium channel that is important for cyclic AMP-stimulated intestinal secretion of chloride ions, which is reduced in cystic fibrosis and pathologically stimulated in cholera and other forms of secretory diarrhea
