UniProt Protein Function: | KCNK3: pH-dependent, voltage-insensitive, background potassium channel protein. Rectification direction results from potassium ion concentration on either side of the membrane. Acts as an outward rectifier when external potassium concentration is low. When external potassium concentration is high, current is inward. Widespread expression in adult. Strongest expression in pancreas and placenta. Lower expression in brain, lung, prostate, heart, kidney, uterus, small intestine and colon. Belongs to the two pore domain potassium channel (TC 1.A.1.8) family.Protein type: Membrane protein, multi-pass; Membrane protein, integral; Channel, potassiumCellular Component: cytosol; integral to membrane; integral to plasma membrane; membrane; plasma membraneMolecular Function: ion channel activity; open rectifier potassium channel activity; potassium channel activity; potassium ion leak channel activity; protein C-terminus binding; protein heterodimerization activity; protein homodimerization activityBiological Process: ion transport; potassium ion transport; reduction of cytosolic calcium ion concentration; response to drug; stabilization of membrane potential; transport |
