Enables

This protein enables 3 target(s):

TargetCategoryDefinition
calcium-activated potassium channel activitymolecular functionEnables the calcium concentration-regulatable energy-independent passage of potassium ions across a lipid bilayer down a concentration gradient. [GOC:dph, GOC:mtg_transport]
outward rectifier potassium channel activitymolecular functionEnables the transmembrane transfer of a potassium ion by an outwardly-rectifying voltage-gated channel. An outwardly rectifying current-voltage relation is one where at any given driving force the outward flow of K+ ions exceeds the inward flow for the opposite driving force. [GOC:mah]
potassium ion leak channel activitymolecular functionEnables the transport of a potassium ion across a membrane via a narrow pore channel that is open even in an unstimulated or 'resting' state. [GOC:mtg_transport, ISBN:0815340729]

TargetCategoryDefinition
plasma membranecellular componentThe membrane surrounding a cell that separates the cell from its external environment. It consists of a phospholipid bilayer and associated proteins. [ISBN:0716731363]

Involved In

This protein is involved in 5 target(s):

TargetCategoryDefinition
potassium ion transportbiological processThe directed movement of potassium ions (K+) into, out of or within a cell, or between cells, by means of some agent such as a transporter or pore. [GOC:ai]
cellular response to pHbiological processAny process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a pH stimulus. pH is a measure of the acidity or basicity of an aqueous solution. [GOC:mah, Wikipedia:PH]
potassium ion export across plasma membranebiological processThe directed movement of potassium ions from inside of a cell, across the plasma membrane and into the extracellular region. [GOC:vw, PMID:11932440]
stabilization of membrane potentialbiological processThe accomplishment of a non-fluctuating membrane potential, the electric potential existing across any membrane arising from charges in the membrane itself and from the charges present in the media on either side of the membrane. [GOC:jl, ISBN:0198506732]
potassium ion transmembrane transportbiological processA process in which a potassium ion is transported from one side of a membrane to the other. [GOC:mah]
