Viewing Gene


Gene: potassium channel, subfamily K, member 10
Gene ID: 207479
Symbol: KCNK10
Species: 1000
Description: This gene encodes one of the members of the superfamily of potassium channel proteins containing two pore-forming P domains. The message for this gene is highly expressed in the kidney and pancreas. This channel is an open rectifier which primarily passes outward current under physiological K+ concentrations. The protein is stimulated strongly by arachidonic acid and to a lesser degree by membrane stretching, intracellular acidification, and general anaesthetics. Three transcript variants have been identified for this gene.
