KCNK1 potassium two pore domain channel subfamily K member 1 [Homo sapiens (human)] - Gene

Summary

Official Symbol: KCNK1provided by HGNC
Official Full Name: potassium two pore domain channel subfamily K member 1provided by HGNC
Primary source: HGNC:HGNC:6272

Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Homo sapiens
Lineage: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo
Also known as: DPK; HOHO; K2P1; KCNO1; TWIK1; K2p1.1; TWIK-1
Summary: This gene encodes one of the members of the superfamily of potassium channel proteins containing two pore-forming P domains. The product of this gene has not been shown to be a functional channel, however, it may require other non-pore-forming proteins for activity. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Expression: Broad expression in brain (RPKM 19.7), stomach (RPKM 14.9) and 18 other tissues See more

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
