Abstract excerpt
Voltage-gated ion channels are important determinants of cellular excitability. The Hyperpolarization-activated Cyclic Nucleotide-gated (HCN) and KV7 (M-) channels are voltage-gated ion channels. Both channels are activated at sub-threshold potentials and have biophysical properties that mirror each other. KV7 channels inhibit neuronal excitability. Thus, mutations in KV7 channels that are associated with Benign...
