UniProt Protein Function: | KCNK16: Outward rectifying potassium channel. Produces rapidly activating and non-inactivating outward rectifier K(+) currents. Belongs to the two pore domain potassium channel (TC 1.A.1.8) family. 4 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.Protein type: Membrane protein, integral; Membrane protein, multi-passChromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 6p21.2Cellular Component: integral component of plasma membrane; plasma membraneMolecular Function: potassium channel activity; potassium ion leak channel activity; protein binding; voltage-gated ion channel activityBiological Process: potassium ion transport; stabilization of membrane potential |

NCBI 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] |
