Entrez ID 83795
Gene name Potassium two pore domain channel subfamily K member 16
Gene symbol KCNK16
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
K2p16.1TALK-1TALK1
Chromosome 6
Chromosome location 6p21.2
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 expres

Q96T55
Protein name Potassium channel subfamily K member 16 (2P domain potassium channel Talk-1) (TWIK-related alkaline pH-activated K(+) channel 1) (TALK-1)
Protein function K(+) channel that conducts voltage-dependent outward rectifying currents upon membrane depolarization. Voltage sensing is coupled to K(+) electrochemical gradient in an 'ion flux gating' mode where outward but not inward ion flow opens the gate
