Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionkqt-1 encodes one of three C. elegans KCNQ-like potassium channel subunits that, with respect to humans, is most similar to the KCNQ2-5 subfamily of channel proteins; although loss of KQT-1 activity via large-scale RNAi screens results in no obvious abnormalities, KQT-1 likely functions to regulate cellular excitability as expression of KQT-1 in Xenopus oocytes can produce K+ channel currents that functionally resemble vertebrate M-currents; activity of these KQT-1 channels can be suppressed by coexpression with the human M1 muscarinic receptor and treatment with diacylglycerol analogs; a KQT-1::GFP translational fusion is expressed in pharyngeal muscle cells, in the anterior and posterior mechanosensory neurons ALM and PLM, and in some head neurons.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00004103

Automated_descriptionEnables potassium channel activity. Involved in G protein-coupled acetylcholine receptor signaling pathway; intracellular signal transduction; and potassium ion transport. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane and synapse. Predicted to be part of voltage-gated potassium channel complex. Expressed in head neurons; pharyngeal muscle cell; and touch receptor neurons. Used to study developmental and epileptic encephalopathy and long QT syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including auditory system disease (multiple); autistic disorder; and electroclinical syndrome (multiple). Is an ortholog of human KCNQ4 (potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily Q member 4).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

RemarkSequence connection from [Thomas JH, Wei A]
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.CGC_data_submission
