KCNK4 (potassium two pore domain channel subfamily K member 4)

Gene

• Entrez ID: 50801
• Gene name: Potassium two pore domain channel subfamily K member 4
• Gene symbol: KCNK4
• Synonyms (NCBI Gene): FHEIG, K2p4.1, TRAAK, TRAAK1
• Disease Acronyms (UniProt): FHEIG
• Chromosome: 11
• Chromosome location: 11q13.1
• Summary: This gene encodes a member of the TWIK-related arachidonic acid-stimulated two pore potassium channel subfamily. The encoded protein homodimerizes and functions as an outwardly rectifying channel. This channel is regulated by polyunsaturated fatty acids,

Protein

• UniProt ID: Q9NYG8
• Protein name: Potassium channel subfamily K member 4 (TWIK-related arachidonic acid-stimulated potassium channel protein) (TRAAK) (Two pore potassium channel KT4.1) (K2P4.1) (Two pore K(+) channel KT4.1)
• 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.
