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 dentate gyrus subgranular zone and heart. Orthologous to human KCNK13 (potassium two pore domain channel subfamily K member 13). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous knockout reduces the surveillance activity of microglial cells in the brain. [provided by MGI curators] |
