Gene name

KCNK16

Description

potassium channel, subfamily K, member 16

Protein class

Mapped to UniProt SWISS-PROT, Potential transmembrane proteins, Transporters, Voltage-gated ion channels

Protein evidence

Low

Entrez gene summary

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 expressed predominantly in the pancreas and is activated at alkaline pH. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2008]
