Background
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],
Function
function:Exhibits outward rectification in a physiological K(+) gradient and mild inward rectification in symmetrical K(+) conditions.,miscellaneous:Inhibited by internal acidification and, to a small degree, by zinc. Not inhibited by quinine, quinidine or barium.,similarity:Belongs to the two pore domain potassium channel (TC 1.A.1.8) family.,subunit:Homodimer .,tissue specificity:Widespread expression, detected in all tissues tested except for skeletal muscle. Strongest expression in placenta, pancreas, heart, colon and spleen, lower levels detected in peripheral blood leukocytes, lung, liver, kidney and thymus. Lowest expression detected in brain.,
