Gene information for KCNK16 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID83795
Official gene symbolKCNK16
Full namepotassium channel, subfamily K, member 16
Aliases,K2p16.1,MGC133123,TALK-1,TALK1,
Gene summaryThe 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 expressed predominantly in the pancreas and is activated at alkaline pH. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
