Potassium channel subfamily K member 16 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KCNK16 gene. [5] [6] The protein encoded by this gene, K2P16.1, is a potassium channel containing two pore-forming P domains. [5] [6]
The two-pore-domain or tandem pore domain potassium channels are a family of 15 members that form what is known as leak channels which possess Goldman-Hodgkin-Katz (open) rectification. These channels are regulated by several mechanisms including signaling lipids, oxygen tension, pH, mechanical stretch, and G-proteins. Their name is derived from the fact that the α subunits consist of four transmembrane segments, and each pair of transmembrane segments contains a pore loop between the two transmembrane segments. Thus, each subunit has two pore loops. As such, they structurally correspond to two inward-rectifier α subunits and thus form dimers in the membrane.
G protein-activated inward rectifier potassium channel 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KCNJ6 gene. Mutation in KCNJ6 gene has been proposed to be the cause of Keppen-Lubinsky Syndrome (KPLBS).
Potassium inwardly-rectifying channel, subfamily J, member 8, also known as KCNJ8, is a human gene encoding the Kir6.1 protein. A mutation in KCNJ8 has been associated with cardiac arrest in the early repolarization syndrome.
Potassium channel subfamily K member 2, also known as TREK-1, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KCNK2 gene.
Potassium channel subfamily K member 3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KCNK3 gene.
Potassium channel subfamily K member 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KCNK1 gene.
Potassium channel subfamily K member 9 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KCNK9 gene.
Potassium channel subfamily K member 4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KCNK4 gene. KCNK4 protein channels are also called TRAAK channels.
Potassium channel subfamily K member 6 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KCNK6 gene.
Potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily KQT member 5 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KCNQ5 gene.
Potassium channel subfamily K member 5 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KCNK5 gene.
Potassium channel subfamily K member 15 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KCNK15 gene.
Potassium channel subfamily K member 17 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KCNK17 gene.
Potassium channel, subfamily K, member 7, also known as KCNK7 or K2P7.1 is a protein which is encoded in humans by the KCNK7 gene. K2P7.1 is a potassium channel containing two pore-forming P domains. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
Potassium channel, subfamily K, member 10, also known as KCNK10 is a human gene. The protein encoded by this gene, K2P10.1, is a potassium channel containing two pore-forming P domains.
Potassium channel, subfamily K, member 12, also known as KCNK12 is a human gene. The protein encoded by this gene, K2P12.1, is a potassium channel containing two pore-forming P domains.
Potassium channel, subfamily K, member 13, also known as KCNK13 is a human gene. The protein encoded by this gene, K2P13.1 is a potassium channel containing two pore-forming P domains.
Potassium channel subfamily K member 18 (KCNK18), also known as TWIK-related spinal cord potassium channel (TRESK) or K2P18.1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KCNK18 gene. K2P18.1 is a potassium channel containing two pore-forming P domains.
Potassium channel blockers are agents which interfere with conduction through potassium channels.
A potassium channel opener is a type of drug which facilitates ion transmission through potassium channels.
