Gene: KCNK7

Alternate names for this Gene: K2p7.1|TWIK3

Gene Summary: 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; however, it may require other non-pore-forming proteins for activity. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 11

Location in Chromosome : 11q13.1

Description of this Gene: potassium two pore domain channel subfamily K member 7

Type of Gene: protein-coding
