GENE AND PROTEIN SUMMARY

? »

Gene name

KCNK6

Description

potassium channel, subfamily K, member 6

Protein class

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

Protein evidence

High

Entrez gene summary

This gene encodes one of the members of the superfamily of potassium channel proteins containing two pore-forming P domains. This channel protein, considered an open rectifier, is widely expressed. It is stimulated by arachidonic acid, and inhibited by internal acidification and volatile anaesthetics. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
