GENE AND PROTEIN SUMMARY

? »

Gene name

KCNK17

Description

potassium channel, subfamily K, member 17

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 activated at alkaline pH. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2008]
