Den KCNQ3 gene belongs to a large family of genes that provide instructions for making potassium channels. These channels, which transport positively charged atoms (ions) of potassium into and out of cells, play a key role in a cell's ability to generate and transmit electrical signals.
Normal function
Den KCNQ3 gene belongs to a large family of genes that provide instructions for making potassium channels. These channels, which transport positively charged atoms (ions) of potassium into and out of cells, play a key role in a cell's ability to generate and transmit electrical signals.
The specific function of a potassium channel depends on its protein components and its location in the body. Channels made with the KCNQ3 protein are active in nerve cells (neurons) in the brain, where they transport potassium ions out of cells. These channels transmit a particular type of electrical signal called the M-current, which prevents the neuron from continuing to send signals to other neurons. The M-current ensures that the neuron is not constantly active, or excitable.
Potassium channels are made up of several protein components (subunits). Each channel contains four alpha subunits that form the hole (pore) through which potassium ions move. Four alpha subunits from the KCNQ3 gene can form a channel. However, the KCNQ3 alpha subunits can also interact with alpha subunits from the KCNQ2 gene to form a functional potassium channel, and these channels transmit a much stronger M-current.

Återuppfödningssyndrom
Refeeding syndrome was first described in Far East prisoners after the second world war when they developed heart failure after starting to eat again after a prolonged period of starvation. Refeeding syndrome is a dangerous and life threatening shift of fluids and body salts (electrolytes) that can occur when malnourished patients receive.

Can I take Bisoprolol and Ramipril together?
Why this happens Both medicines work to lower blood pressure but in different ways. Bisoprolol is a beta-blocker that slows the heart rate, while ramipril is an ACE inhibitor that relaxes blood vessels. Because they both target the cardiovascular system, their effects add together (an additive effect). It is best to keep ... Salt substitutes.
