KCNK18, also known as potassium channel subfamily K member 18, is a gene that encodes a member of the two-pore domain potassium channel family. These channels are important for regulating various physiological processes by controlling potassium ion flow across cell membranes. KCNK18 is specifically involved in setting the resting membrane potential and regulating excitability in neuronal and muscle tissues. The KCNK18 protein may play a role in the sensory system and is thought to be involved in pain perception.
