KCNQ channels, also known as M-type potassium channels, are a family of voltage-gated potassium channels that are encoded by the KCNQ gene family. These channels play a crucial role in regulating neuronal excitability and are important for setting the resting membrane potential and shaping action potentials in neurons and other excitable cells.
