Gene: KCNK1

Alternate names for this Gene: DPK|HOHO|K2P1|K2p1.1|KCNO1|TWIK-1|TWIK1

Gene 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.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 1

Location in Chromosome : 1q42.2

Description of this Gene: potassium two pore domain channel subfamily K member 1

Type of Gene: protein-coding
