Primary Identifier | MGI:2384976 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 12 | NCBI Gene Number | 217826 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity; potassium channel activity; and protein heterodimerization activity. Involved in regulation of NLRP3 inflammasome complex assembly; regulation of excitatory synapse pruning; and regulation of resting membrane potential. 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.
