Gene information for KCNK5 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID8645
Official gene symbolKCNK5
Full namepotassium channel, subfamily K, member 5
Aliases,FLJ11035,K2p5.1,TASK-2,TASK2,
Gene summaryThis 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 mainly expressed in the cortical distal tubules and collecting ducts of the kidney. The protein is highly sensitive to external pH and this, in combination with its expression pattern, suggests it may play an important role in renal potassium transport. [provided by RefSeq]
