Gene Name
Kcnt1; Slack
Organism
Rattus norvegicus (Rat)
Length
1237 amino acids
AlphaFoldDB
AF-Q9Z258-F1-model_v4.pdb
Function
Outwardly rectifying potassium channel subunit that may coassemble with other Slo-type channel subunits. Activated by high intracellular sodium or chloride levels. Activated upon stimulation of G-protein coupled receptors; such as CHRM1 and GRIA1. May be regulated by calcium in the absence of sodium ions (in vitro)
