Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.2.0)
Enables voltage-gated potassium channel activity. Acts upstream of or within inner ear morphogenesis; potassium ion transmembrane transport; and sensory perception of sound. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Predicted to be part of voltage-gated potassium channel complex. Is expressed in several structures, including gonad; hemolymphoid system gland; inner ear; retina; and vestibulo-cochlear ganglion. 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).
