Gene information for KCNK18 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID338567
Official gene symbolKCNK18
Full namepotassium channel, subfamily K, member 18
Aliases,K2p18.1,TRESK,TRESK-2,TRESK2,TRIK,
Gene summaryTwo-pore domain (K2P) potassium channels, such as KCNK18, give rise to background, or leak, potassium conductance, and they regulate diverse cellular functions by adjusting both the resting membrane potential and excitability. KCNK18 is unique among this family of potassium channels in that its activity is regulated by intracellular calcium (summary by Czirjak and Enyedi, 2006 [PubMed 16569637]).[supplied by OMIM]
