    Summary
    Enables chloride-activated potassium channel activity. Involved in potassium ion export across plasma membrane. Acts upstream of or within potassium ion transport. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 57. Orthologous to human KCNT2 (potassium sodium-activated channel subfamily T member 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
