      Official symbol:  KCNK2
      Full name:  potassium two pore domain channel subfamily K member 2
      Location:  1q41
      Also known as:  TREK-1, K2p2.1
      Entrez ID:  3776
      Ensembl ID:  ENSG00000082482
      Summary:  This gene encodes one of the members of the two-pore-domain background potassium channel protein family. This type of potassium channel is formed by two homodimers that create a channel that leaks potassium out of the cell to control resting membrane potential. The channel can be opened, however, by certain anesthetics, membrane stretching, intracellular acidosis, and heat. Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
