Gene Symbol:

KCNK17 Homo sapiens

Full name:

potassium two pore domain channel subfamily K member 17

Synonyms:

K2p17.1, TALK-2, TALK2, TASK-4, TASK4, potassium channel subfamily K member 17, 2P domain potassium channel Talk-2, TWIK-related acid-sensitive K(+) channel 4, TWIK-related alkaline pH-activated K(+) channel 2, acid-sensitive potassium channel protein TASK-4, potassium channel, two pore domain subfamily K, member 17

Genomic Location:

Chr 6: 39374755-39390214

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 ...
