Summary: Enables voltage-gated potassium channel activity. Acts upstream of or within inner ear morphogenesis; potassium ion transport; and sensory perception of sound. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Predicted to be part of voltage-gated potassium channel complex. Predicted to be integral component of membrane. Is expressed in heart; utricle; and utricle epithelium. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness 2A and sensorineural hearing loss. Orthologous to human KCNQ4 (potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily Q member 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
