A versatile functional interaction between electrically silent K subunits and K7 potassium channels.

Voltage-gated K (K) channels govern K ion flux across cell membranes in response to changes in membrane potential. They are formed by the assembly of four subunits, typically from the same family. Electrically silent K channels (KS), however, are unable to conduct currents on their own.

The Risk Genes for Neuropsychiatric Disorders and Are Expressed throughout Zebrafish Brain Development.

The immunoglobulin LAMP/OBCAM/NTM (IgLON) family of cell adhesion molecules comprises five members known for their involvement in establishing neural circuit connectivity, fine-tuning, and maintenance. Mutations in IgLON genes result in alterations in these processes and can lead to neuropsychiatric disorders. The two IgLON family members NEGR1 and OPCML share common links with several of them, such as schizophrenia, autism, and major depressive disorder.
