Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables potassium channel activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including establishment of localization in cell; potassium ion transmembrane transport; and protein stabilization. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Predicted to be part of monoatomic ion channel complex. Predicted to be active in membrane. Is expressed in germ cell of testis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in spermatogenic failure. Orthologous to human KCNU1 (potassium calcium-activated channel subfamily U member 1).
