Fraction of tumor cells in a few endometrial and lung cancers displayed moderate to strong cytoplasmic positivity. A few renal cancers showed weak to moderate staining. Remaining cancer tissues were negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
KCNK5 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
K2p5.1, TASK-2
Description
Potassium channel, two pore domain subfamily K, member 5 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
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. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
