About Kcnk4

Summary

Predicted to enable cation channel activity and identical protein binding activity. Involved in detection of mechanical stimulus involved in sensory perception of touch; sensory perception of pain; and sensory perception of temperature stimulus. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Predicted to be integral component of membrane. Predicted to be part of Potassium Channel complex. Predicted to be integral component of plasma membrane. Is expressed in 2-cell stage embryo; blastocyst; early conceptus; secondary oocyte; and spermatid. Orthologous to human KCNK4 (potassium two pore domain channel subfamily K member 4).
