KCNK2

KCNK2 (Potassium Two Pore Domain Channel Subfamily K Member 2): KCNK2 encodes a protein that forms part of a potassium channel, which plays a significant role in setting the electrical activity of neurons. These channels are involved in regulating neuronal excitability and are important for various physiological processes, including the regulation of sleep and anesthesia. Dysfunctions or mutations in KCNK2 have been implicated in neurological disorders, such as epilepsy and paroxysmal movement disorders.
