KCNK9, also known as "potassium channel sodium-activated 9," is a gene that encodes a protein belonging to the potassium channel family. This family of proteins is involved in the regulation of potassium ion flow across cell membranes, which is crucial for various physiological processes, including maintaining the resting membrane potential, shaping action potentials, and regulating cellular excitability.
