"Here, phylogenetic analysis, electrostatic potential mapping, in silico docking, electrophysiology, and radioligand binding assays reveal that the anticonvulsant binding pocket evolved to accommodate endogenous neurotransmitters including gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), which directly activates KCNQ5 and KCNQ3 via W265."

"Electrophysiological recordings of cloned channels in Xenopus oocytes and CHO cells and endogenous M-current in PC12 cells and mouse dorsal root ganglia (DRG) neurons showed that KCNQ3 and 5, but not KCNQ2 or 4, are " activated " by sub-micromolar to micromolar levels of GABA, making these channels more sensitive than many canonical GABA receptors."
