Primary Identifier | MGI:2685627 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 19 | NCBI Gene Number | 332396 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.3.0) Enables calcium-activated potassium channel activity. Involved in potassium ion transport. Acts upstream of or within potassium ion transmembrane transport. Located in plasma membrane. Is expressed in gut; male reproductive gland or organ; and olfactory lobe. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in migraine. Orthologous to human KCNK18 (potassium two pore domain channel subfamily K member 18). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for an ENU-induced allele exhibit altered potassium conductance and neuron electrophysiology. [provided by MGI curators] |
