Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 9.0.0)
Enables potassium ion transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to lipopolysaccharide; cellular response to potassium ion; and inorganic ion import across plasma membrane. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including intracellular monoatomic cation homeostasis; mammary gland duct morphogenesis; and regulation of secretion by cell. Located in apical plasma membrane; basolateral plasma membrane; and neuronal cell body. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; lung; metanephros; nervous system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness 78. Orthologous to human SLC12A2 (solute carrier family 12 member 2).
