Facts about Potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily KQT member 4.
KCNQ4 channels are blocked by linopirdin, XE991 and bepridil, whereas clofilium is without significant effect. Muscarinic agonist oxotremorine-M strongly suppress KCNQ4 current in CHO cells where cloned KCNQ4 channels were coexpressed with M1 muscarinic receptors.

Expressed in the outer, but not the inner, sensory hair cells of the cochlea. Slightly expressed in heart, brain and skeletal muscle.
Basal cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Situated at the basal membrane of cochlear outer hair cells.
