function:Probable potassium channel subunit. No channel activity observed in heterologous systems. May need to associate with another protein to form a functional channel.,polymorphism:Three variant polypeptides are known: TASK-5A, TASK-5B and TASK-5C. The sequence shown is that of TASK-5C.,similarity:Belongs to the two pore domain potassium channel (TC 1.A.1.8) family.,subunit:Heterodimer .,tissue specificity:Detected in pancreas, heart, placenta, lung, liver, kidney, ovary, testis, skeletal muscle and adrenal gland, and at lower levels in prostate, spleen and thyroid gland.,
Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
Detected in pancreas, heart, placenta, lung, liver, kidney, ovary, testis, skeletal muscle and adrenal gland, and at lower levels in prostate, spleen and thyroid gland.
