Description
Product Characteristics: Function: Probable potassium channel subunit. No channel activity observed in heterologous systems. May need to associate with another protein to form a functional channel. Tissue specificity: Brain-specific. Highly expressed in auditory nuclei, in Purkinje cells and in olfactory bulb mitral cells. Subcellular location: Membrane, Multi-pass membrane protein.,Two Pore Domain,Potassium channel subfamily K member 15, TASK5, KCNKF, Acid-sensitive potassium channel protein TASK-5, TWIK-related acid-sensitive K(+) channel 5
Target Information: 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. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
