KCNK6, also known as TWIK-related K+ channel 6, is a gene that encodes a protein belonging to the two-pore domain potassium channel (K2P) family. These channels are known for their role in maintaining the resting membrane potential and regulating the excitability of neurons and other cells by allowing potassium ions (K+) to flow across the cell membrane. KCNK6 is characterized by its ability to contribute to the background potassium conductance in various tissues.
