"Cryo-electron microscopy was utilized by Li et al. (2021) to determine the structure of human KCNQ2 in its apolipoprotein form; they found that retigabine binds to the pore domain and activates the KCNQ2 channel via allosteric modulation, resulting in adequate control of epileptic symptoms.The voltage-gated sodium channel initiates the transduction of electrical signals to generate and transmit action potentials (Payandeh et al., 2011)."

"KCNQ2-L275 (or L314, its equivalent in KCNQ3), close to the selectivity filter, also influences RTG activation of KCNQ2 and may impinge on or form part of the binding site xref , as illustrated here using in silico docking to a model chimeric structure derived from the Xenopus KCNQ1 cryo-EM structure with KCNQ3 RTG binding residues and close neighbors added (Fig. xref , upper)."

"Since retigabine modulates Kv7.2 thru Kv7.5, Retigabine will also impact tissues such as smooth muscle which could lead to hypotension or defects in lymphatic function (Jepps et al., 2013; Khanamiri et al., 2013) or skeletal muscle where retigabine is reported to modulate proliferation and differentiation (Iannotti et al., 2010)."
