KCNK12
Description
The KCNK12 (potassium two pore domain channel subfamily K member 12) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 2.
The human gene KCNK12 encodes for a potassium channel known as K2P12.1. This channel contains two pore-forming domains, referred to as P domains.
This protein is thought to be a subunit of a potassium channel, but it has not been shown to form a functional channel on its own in laboratory settings. It may require partnering with another protein to create a working channel.
KCNK12 is also known as K2p12.1, THIK-2, THIK2.
