Primary Identifier | MGI:2675209 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 241769 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable potassium ion leak channel activity. Predicted to be involved in potassium ion transmembrane transport. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Orthologous to human KCNK15 (potassium two pore domain channel subfamily K member 15). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit changes in neuronal excitability in bushy cells of the ventral cochlear nucleus and principal neurons of the medial nucleus of the trapezoid body and show altered auditory brainstem responses to loud sounds.
