Differential Expression of KCNQ2 Splice Variants: Implications to M Current Function during Neuronal Development
15 Feb 2001
Abstract excerpt
The KCNQ family of K(+) channels has been implicated in several cardiac and neurological disease pathologies. KCNQ2 (Q2) is a brain-derived gene, which in association with KCNQ3 (Q3) has been shown to provide a molecular basis for the neuronal M current. We have cloned a long (Q2L) and a short (Q2S) splice variant of the human KCNQ2 gene; these variants differ in their C-terminal tail. Northern blot analysis...
