Predicted to enable outward rectifier potassium channel activity and potassium ion leak channel activity. Predicted to be involved in potassium ion transmembrane transport and stabilization of membrane potential. Predicted to be located in membrane. Is an ortholog of several human genes including KCNK2 (potassium two pore domain channel subfamily K member 2); KCNK4 (potassium two pore domain channel subfamily K member 4); and KCNK5 (potassium two pore domain channel subfamily K member 5).
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
