{"symbol":"KCNK16","synonyms":["K2P16.1","TALK-1","TALK1"],"name":"potassium channel, two pore domain subfamily K, member 16","description":"The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the family of potassium channel proteins containing two pore-forming P domains. This channel is an open rectifier which primarily passes outward current under physiological K+ concentrations. This gene is expressed predominantly in the pancreas and is activated at alkaline pH. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified for this gene.
