Target Details for KCNK12

Target: KCNK12 (Potassium Channel, Subfamily K, Member 12 (KCNK12))

Alternative Name: KCNK12

Background: Potassium channel subfamily K member 12, Tandem pore domain halothane-inhibited K+ channel 2, K2P12.1,Potassium channels form the largest ion channel family with over 70 genes identified in humans. 2-pore domain channels (K2P) are believed to be responsible for background or leak K+ currents and they are widely expressed in the nervous system. They are involved in resting potential control and firing pattern of excitable cells1. The K2P channel family is comprised of at least 16 members.The KCNK12 channel (THIK-2, K2P12.1) has two pore domains (M1 and P1) and a long M1-P1 linker. It has a long cytosolic C terminus and a very unusual N-terminal domain containing many cysteine, proline and arginine residues. This N-terminal domain cannot be found in the similar THIK-1 channel and is highly conserved in mammals.Until recently, the THIK-2 channel was considered to be a "silent" channel and could not be functionally expressed in mammalian and non-mammalian cell lines. When removing the N-terminal both THIK-1 and THIK-2 channels exhibit similar current-voltage relations. In addition, both channels have 64 % identical amino-acids in humans and 59 % in rats. Only a small fraction of THIK-2 channel is localized to the cell membrane surface and this can be increased by deleting the original retention/retrieval signal RRR in its N-terminus.The THIK-2 channel is highly expressed in the cortex, cerebellum hippocampus, thalamus, inferior colliculi of the midbrain and the olfactory bulb. It is also expressed in non-neuronal tissues such as the lungs, liver, kidney and spleen2.
