KCNK10 potassium two pore domain channel subfamily K member 10 [ Homo sapiens (human) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 54207)

Symbol: KCNK10

Full name: potassium two pore domain channel subfamily K member 10

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: K2p10.1; PPP1R97; TREK-2; TREK2

Summary: The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the family of potassium channel proteins containing two pore-forming P domains. This channel is an open rectifier which primarily passes outward current under physiological K+ concentrations, and is stimulated strongly by arachidonic acid and to a lesser degree by membrane stretching, intracellular acidification, and general anaesthetics. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2008]
