Kcnk3 - potassium channel, subfamily K, member 3

Predicted to enable S100 protein binding activity; potassium channel activity; and protein C-terminus binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including negative regulation of cytosolic calcium ion concentration; potassium ion transmembrane transport; and stabilization of membrane potential. Predicted to act upstream of or within ion transport. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Predicted to be integral component of plasma membrane. Is expressed in early conceptus; heart; and secondary oocyte. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in primary pulmonary hypertension. Orthologous to human KCNK3 (potassium two pore domain channel subfamily K member 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
