Potassium channel subfamily K member 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KCNK1gene.[5][6][7]
This gene encodes K2P1.1, a member of the superfamily of potassium channelproteins containing two pore-forming P domains. The product of this gene has not been shown to be a functional channel, however, and it may require other non-pore-forming proteins for activity.[7]
