Abstract excerpt
The KCNQ gene family comprises voltage-gated potassium channels expressed in epithelial tissues (KCNQ1, KCNQ5), inner ear structures (KCNQ1, KCNQ4) and the brain (KCNQ2-5). KCNQ4 is expressed in inner and outer hair cells of the inner ear where it determines electrical excitability. Accordingly, loss of function mutations of the KCNQ4 gene cause hearing loss. Several K+ channels including the closely related...
