Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
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 act upstream of or within monoatomic ion transmembrane transport and potassium ion transport. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be part of monoatomic ion channel complex. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; eye; genitourinary system; heart; and thymus. Orthologous to human KCNK7 (potassium two pore domain channel subfamily K member 7).
