potassium two pore domain channel subfamily K member 17
Synonyms
2P domain potassium channel Talk-2
acid-sensitive potassium channel protein TASK-4
Biotype
protein coding gene
Automated Description
Enables outward rectifier potassium channel activity and protein heterodimerization activity. Involved in potassium ion transport. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be part of monoatomic ion channel complex. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane.
RGD Description
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the family of potassium channel proteins containing two pore-forming P domains. This channel is an open rectifier which primarily passes outward current under physiological K+ concentrations. This gene is activated at alkaline pH. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2008]
