Human Gene KCNK4 (ENST00000538767.1) from GENCODE V44
Description: Homo sapiens potassium two pore domain channel subfamily K member 4 (KCNK4), transcript variant 4, non-coding RNA. (from RefSeq NR_133660) RefSeq Summary (NR_133660): This gene encodes a member of the TWIK-related arachidonic acid-stimulated two pore potassium channel subfamily. The encoded protein homodimerizes and functions as an outwardly rectifying channel. This channel is regulated by polyunsaturated fatty acids, temperature and mechanical deformation of the lipid membrane. This protein is expressed primarily in neural tissues and may be involved in regulating the noxious input threshold in dorsal root ganglia neurons. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Naturally occurring read-through transcripts also exist between this gene and the downstream testis expressed 40 (TEX40) gene, as represented in GeneID: 106780802. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2015]. Gencode Transcript: ENST00000538767.1 Gencode Gene: ENSG00000182450.14 Transcript (Including UTRs) Position: hg38 chr11:64,291,325-64,300,028 Size: 8,704 Total Exon Count: 6 Strand: + Coding Region Position: hg38 chr11:64,296,888-64,299,824 Size: 2,937 Coding Exon Count: 5
ID:F5GYE0_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: SubName: Full=Potassium channel subfamily K member 4; CAUTION: The sequence shown here is derived from an Ensembl automatic analysis pipeline and should be considered as preliminary data.
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
