KCNQ5 is a gene that encodes a member of the potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily Q. The channels formed by KCNQ5 are involved in various physiological processes, including regulating the excitability of neurons and other types of cells. This specific potassium channel is known to contribute to the M-current, which is a slow, voltage-gated potassium current that helps stabilize the membrane potential and can influence the firing patterns of action potentials in neurons.
