Today, KCNK1 has become a topic of great interest and relevance in different areas of society. Its impact has been felt in various sectors, from culture to technology, politics and economics. As KCNK1 continues to generate debate and interest, it is crucial to understand its influence on our daily lives. In this article, we will explore the various facets of KCNK1 and discuss its importance in the current context. From its origins to its evolution, through its implications and challenges, KCNK1 continues to be a topic of constant study and reflection for academics, experts and the general public.
Potassium channel subfamily K member 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KCNK1gene.[5][6][7]
This gene encodes K2P1.1, a member of the superfamily of potassium channelproteins containing two pore-forming P domains. The product of this gene has not been shown to be a functional channel, however, and it may require other non-pore-forming proteins for activity.[7]
