Cloning and localization of a double-pore K channel, KCNK1: exclusive expression in distal nephron segments
1 Oct 1997
Abstract excerpt
The K-selective channel, TOK1, recently identified in yeast, displays the unusual structural feature of having two putative pore regions, in contrast to all previously cloned K channels. Using the TOK1 pore regions as probes, we identified a human kidney cDNA encoding a 337-amino acid protein (hKCNK1) with four transmembrane segments and two pore regions containing the signature sequence of K channels. Amino acid...
