gene: unc-58 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Enables outward rectifier potassium channel activity. Involved in several processes, including muscle contraction; parturition; and regulation of muscle contraction. Predicted to be located in membrane. Expressed in interneuron and motor neurons. Is an ortholog of human KCNK17 (potassium two pore domain channel subfamily K member 17) and KCNK5 (potassium two pore domain channel subfamily K member 5).
