potassium two pore domain channel subfamily K member 17(KCNK17) Homo sapiens 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 activated at alkaline pH. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2008],function:Outward rectifying potassium channel. Produces rapidly activating and non-inactivating outward rectifier K(+) currents.,miscellaneous:Inhibited by Ba(2+), quinidine, chloroform and halothane. Activated at alkaline pH. Activated by quinine and isoflurane.,similarity:Belongs to the two pore domain potassium channel (TC 1.A.1.8) family.,subunit:Homodimer .,
