KCNK17 potassium two pore domain channel subfamily K member 17 [ Homo sapiens (human) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 89822)

Symbol: KCNK17

Full name: potassium two pore domain channel subfamily K member 17

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: K2p17.1; TALK-2; TALK2; TASK-4; TASK4

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. This gene is activated at alkaline pH. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2008]
