This gene encodes one of the members of the superfamily of potassium channel proteins containing two pore-forming P domains. The product of this gene has not been shown to be a functional channel, however, it may require other non-pore-forming proteins for activity. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Forensic Context
A study in humans demonstrated that the KCNK1 was down-regulated in left ventricular myocardium from cases of autopsy-defined arrhythmic sudden death compared to nonarrhythmic deaths, as part of a dysregulated ion transport signature [Caudal et al. DOI:10.1016/j.jacep.2024.08.013]. In a separate investigation in rats, the KCNK1 was previously associated with central nervous system injuries in multiple array studies, though it was not experimentally studied in that specific spinal cord injury model [De Biase et al. DOI:10.1152/physiolgenomics.00081.2005].
