Kv7.3 (KvLQT3) is a potassium channel protein coded for by the gene KCNQ3.It is associated with benign familial neonatal epilepsy.The M channel is a slowly activating and deactivating potassium channel that plays a critical role in the regulation of neuronal excitability. The M channel is formed by the association of the protein encoded by this gene and one of two related proteins encoded by the KCNQ2 and KCNQ5 genes both integral membrane proteins.
