Kcnk1 - potassium two pore domain channel subfamily K member 1 Gene

Also Known as Twik

Species: Rattus norvegicus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 59324

Summary

Enables potassium ion leak channel activity. Involved in potassium ion transmembrane transport and response to nicotine. Located in apical plasma membrane; brush border membrane; and cytoplasm. Is integral component of plasma membrane. Orthologous to human KCNK1 (potassium two pore domain channel subfamily K member 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
