About KCNK6

Cytogenetic location: 19q13.2 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 19:38,319,845-38,332,076 (from NCBI)

This gene has 2 transcripts (splice variants), 204 orthologues and 14 paralogues. Ubiquitous expression in endometrium (RPKM 7.3), esophagus (RPKM 6.3) and 24 other tissues.

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]
