| GENE NAME | potassium two pore domain channel subfamily K memb |
| SYNONYMNS | TALK1 TALK-1 K2p16.1 |
| CHROMOSOME | 6 |
| HOMOLOGENE ID | 75328 |
| 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] |
