Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 9132
Gene name Potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily Q member 4
Gene symbol KCNQ4
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
DFNA2DFNA2AKV7.4
Chromosome 1
Chromosome location 1p34.2
Summary The protein encoded by this gene forms a potassium channel that is thought to play a critical role in the regulation of neuronal excitability, particularly in sensory cells of the cochlea. The current generated by this channel is inhibited by M1 muscarini
