Type of Gene:

Gene: KCNK16

Alternate names for this Gene: K2p16.1|TALK-1|TALK1

Gene Summary: The 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.
