Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionkqt-3 encodes one of three C. elegans KCNQ-like potassium channel subunits and, with respect to humans, is most similar to the KCNQ1 channel protein which when mutated leads to inherited long QT syndrome (OMIM:607542); although loss of KQT-3 activity via large-scale RNAi screens results in no obvious abnormalities, KQT-3 likely functions to regulate cellular excitability as expression of KQT-3 in Xenopus oocytes can produce K+ channel currents that functionally resemble vertebrate M-currents; activity of these KQT-3 channels can be suppressed by coexpression with the human M1 muscarinic receptor and treatment with diacylglycerol analogs, although KQT-3 is less sensitive to each of these treatments than KQT-1; a KQT-3::GFP fusion protein is expressed in the anterior- and posterior-most intestinal cells, the anterior and posterior mechanosensory neurons ALM and PLM, amphid and phasmid neurons, and in some additional head neurons.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00004103

Automated_descriptionEnables potassium channel activity. Involved in G protein-coupled acetylcholine receptor signaling pathway and potassium ion transport. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane and synapse. Predicted to be part of voltage-gated potassium channel complex. Expressed in head neurons; intestine; and sensory neurons. Used to study Jervell-Lange Nielsen syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in heart conduction disease (multiple); long QT syndrome (multiple); and seminoma. Is an ortholog of human KCNQ1 (potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily Q member 1).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

Disease_relevanceThe kqt genes in elegans (kqt-1, kqt-2, kqt-3) are most similar to the human KCNQ multi-gene family encoding potassium channels; C. elegans kqt-1 defines a subfamily of potassium channel genes along with the human KCNQ2-5 and kqt-3 is most similar to KCNQ1; mutations in human KCNQ genes have been associated with genetic disorders of cardiac arrhythmia and deafness; mutations in KCNQ1 are associated with Atrial fibrillation (familial 3), Jervell and Lange-Nielen syndrome, Long-QT syndrome-1, and Short QT syndrome-2; studies in elegans show that the suppression of KCNQ/KQTchannels by diacylglycerol (DAG) is dependent on the carboxyl terminal domains of the channel subunits and activated protein kinase C.Homo sapiensPaper_evidenceWBPaper00025059

RemarkSequence connection from [Wei A]
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.CGC_data_submission
