gene: sup-9 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable outward rectifier potassium channel activity and potassium ion leak channel activity. Involved in regulation of muscle contraction. Located in muscle cell projection membrane and striated muscle dense body. Expressed in body wall musculature; muscle cell; and neurons. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Birk-Barel syndrome and primary pulmonary hypertension. Is an ortholog of human KCNK3 (potassium two pore domain channel subfamily K member 3) and KCNK9 (potassium two pore domain channel subfamily K member 9).
