Summary
KCNK5 (potassium two pore domain channel subfamily K member 5, HGNC:6280) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 6p21.2, encoding Potassium channel subfamily K member 5 (O95279). K(+) channel that conducts voltage-dependent outward rectifying currents upon membrane depolarization.
This gene encodes one of the members of the superfamily of potassium channel proteins containing two pore-forming P domains. The message for this gene is mainly expressed in the cortical distal tubules and collecting ducts of the kidney. The protein is highly sensitive to external pH and this, in combination with its expression pattern, suggests it may play an important role in renal potassium transport.

Potassium channel subfamily K member 5 — O95279 (reviewed: O95279)
Alternative names: Acid-sensitive potassium channel protein TASK-2, TWIK-related acid-sensitive K(+) channel 2
All UniProt accessions (1): O95279
UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. K(+) channel that conducts voltage-dependent outward rectifying currents upon membrane depolarization. Voltage sensing is coupled to K(+) electrochemical gradient in an ‘ion flux gating’ mode where outward but not inward ion flow opens the gate. Homo- and heterodimerizes to form functional channels with distinct regulatory and gating properties.
Subunit / interactions. Homodimer; disulfide-linked. Heterodimer with KCNK16 and KCNK17.
Subcellular location. Membrane.
Tissue specificity. Abundant expression in kidney, also detected in liver, placenta and small intestine. In the kidney, expression is restricted to the distal tubules and collecting ducts. Not expressed in proximal tubules or glomeruli. Expressed in pancreas, in both endocrine (alpha, beta, gamma, delta, and epsilon) and exocrine (acinar and ductal) cells.
Activity regulation. The channel conductance is stimulated by extracellular alkaline pH. Inhibited by quinine, quinidine and external acidification.
Domain organisation. The pore-forming domains 1 and 2 assemble to form a single pore in which M2 and M4 transmembrane helices line the central cavity and M1 and M3 face the lipid bilayer. The transmembrane helices are bridged by the selectivity filters 1 and 2 carrying a signature sequence TxTTxGYGD that coordinate the permeant ions. Up to four ions can simultaneously occupy the selectivity filter and at least two elementary charges must translocate across the filter to convert it into the open conformation.
Similarity. Belongs to the two pore domain potassium channel (TC 1.A.1.8) family.
