Scientific Background: The protein encoded by this gene forms a potassium channel that is thought to play a critical role in the regulation of neuronal excitability (1), particularly in sensory cells of the cochlea (2). The current generated by this channel is inhibited by M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors and activated by retigabine, a novel anti-convulsant drug (3).
