KCNK7

Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens


Potassium channel, subfamily K, member 7, also known as KCNK7 or K2P7.1 is a protein which is encoded in humans by the KCNK7 gene. K2P7.1 is a potassium channel containing two pore-forming P domains.[5][6][7] Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[8]

Function

This gene encodes a member 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; It may require other non-pore-forming proteins for activity.[8]
