Voltage-gated Potassium Channels (Kv7): Molecular Structure, Regulation, and Role in Pathogenesis
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The potassium channels of the Kv7 family, comprising KCNQ1 to KCNQ5, assume a critical role in the regulation of membrane potential and cellular excitability within the nervous, cardiovascular, sensory, and endocrine systems.Their specificity to distinct tissues makes them associated with a wide range of pathological conditions, including epileptic encephalopathy, long QT syndrome,
