Other Information

**Key characteristics:** * KCNK1 is a potassium channel protein that belongs to the KCNK family of potassium channels. * It is a transmembrane protein with a pore domain that is responsible for the channel's function. * KCNK1 is expressed in a variety of cell types, including granule cell, macroglial cell, stellate neuron, epithelial cell of urethra, cerebral cortex neuron, neuronal brush cell, regular atrial cardiac myocyte, neuron associated cell (sensu Vertebrata), basal cell of prostate epithelium, and glandular epithelial cell. **Pathways and functions:** * KCNK1 is involved in cardiac conduction by regulating the heart rate and rhythm. * It is also involved in muscle contraction by opening during muscle relaxation and closing during muscle contraction. * KCNK1 is involved in the neuronal system by regulating the excitability of neurons. * It is also involved in renal function by regulating water and electrolyte balance. **Clinical significance:** * Mutations in the KCNK1 gene have been linked to a number of human diseases, including cardiac arrhythmias, epilepsy, and renal failure. * Drugs that target KCNK1 have been developed and are used to treat these diseases.
