An isolated polynucleotide encoding a novel potassium channel polypeptide, KCNQ5, that is expressed primarily in brain and skeletal muscle is described. The new polypeptide has been cloned and isolated from a human brain cDNA library and is a member the KCNQ family of potassium channels. The provided human KCNQ5 nucleic acid sequence and encoded polypeptide can be employed for diagnostic, screening and therapeutic uses. Moreover, the hKCNQ5 polypeptide can be used to assay for KCNQ5 potassium channel modulators, which can be utilized in the treatment of neurological, neurophysiological, neuropsychological and neuroaffective diseases, conditions and disorders, including, but not limited to, acute and chronic pain, migraine, acute stroke, dementia, vascular dementia, trauma, epilepsy, amyelotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), multiple sclerosis (MS), Parkinson's Disease, learning and cognitive disorders, and neurophysiological disorders including anxiety disorders, depression, bipolar disorders, sleep disorders, addiction, and eating disorders.
本文描述了一种编码新型钾通道多肽 KCNQ5 的分离多核苷酸,KCNQ5 主要在大脑和骨骼肌中表达。这种新的多肽是从人脑 cDNA 文库中克隆和分离出来的,是钾通道 KCNQ 家族的成员。所提供的人 KCNQ5 核酸序列和编码的多肽可用于诊断、筛选和治疗。此外,hKCNQ5 多肽还可用于检测 KCNQ5 钾通道调节剂,而 KCNQ5 钾通道调节剂可用于治疗神经、神经生理、神经心理和神经情感性疾病、病症和紊乱,包括但不限于急性和慢性疼痛、偏头痛、急性中风、痴呆、血管性痴呆、脑卒中、颅内出血、颅内感染、颅内压增高、颅内压增高和颅内压增高、急性中风、痴呆、血管性痴呆、创伤、癫痫、肌萎缩性脊髓侧索硬化症(ALS)、多发性硬化症(MS)、帕金森病、学习和认知障碍以及神经生理障碍,包括焦虑症、抑郁症、双相情感障碍、睡眠障碍、成瘾和饮食失调。
