Primary Identifier | MGI:1921821 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 14 | NCBI Gene Number | 74571 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable outward rectifier potassium channel activity and potassium ion leak channel activity. Predicted to be involved in potassium ion transmembrane transport. Predicted to act upstream of or within potassium ion transport. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Orthologous to human KCNK16 (potassium two pore domain channel subfamily K member 16). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit altered beta cell electrical excitability, second-phase insulin secretion and glucose homeostasis. [provided by MGI curators] |
