Chromosome | 19 | NCBI Gene Number | 16530 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.3.0) Predicted to enable outward rectifier potassium channel activity and potassium ion leak channel activity. Predicted to be involved in potassium ion transmembrane transport and stabilization of membrane potential. Predicted to act upstream of or within monoatomic ion transmembrane transport and potassium ion transport. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be part of monoatomic ion channel complex. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; eye; genitourinary system; heart; and thymus. Orthologous to human KCNK7 (potassium two pore domain channel subfamily K member 7). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele are viable, fertile and behaviorally normal with no significant alterations in volatile anesthetic sensitivity. [provided by MGI curators] |
