Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.5.0)
Enables outward rectifier potassium channel activity and protein heterodimerization activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of aldosterone secretion; regulation of action potential firing rate; and regulation of resting membrane potential. Acts upstream of or within potassium ion import across plasma membrane. Located in mitochondrial inner membrane and plasma membrane. Is expressed in cerebral cortex; early conceptus; and secondary oocyte. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Birk-Barel syndrome. Orthologous to human KCNK9 (potassium two pore domain channel subfamily K member 9).
