KCNK5, also known as "Potassium Channel, Two-Pore Domain, Subfamily K, Member 5," is a gene that encodes a protein involved in the formation of a specific type of potassium ion channel. These channels are integral in various physiological processes, including setting the resting membrane potential of cells, regulating excitability, and contributing to the overall homeostasis of potassium ions within cells.
