{"symbol":"KCNK17","synonyms":["TASK4","TALK-2","TALK2","K2P17.1","TASK-4"],"name":"potassium channel, two pore domain subfamily K, member 17","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 activated at alkaline pH. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
