Background: Voltage-gated K+ channels in the plasma membrane are important regulators of electrical signaling, controlling the repolarization and the frequency of action potentials in neurons, muscles and other excitable cells. KCNT2 (Potassium channel subfamily T member 2), also known as Sequence like an intermediate conductance potassium channel subunit (SLICK) and Sodium and chloride-activated ATP-sensitive potassium channel Slo2.1, is a 1,135 amino acid multi-pass transmembrane protein belonging to the potassium channel family (calcium-activated subfamily) of proteins. KCNT2 produces rapidly activating outward rectifier potassium currents in reponse to high intracellular sodium and chloride levels. Its channel activity is inhibited by ATP, inhalation anesthetics, such as isoflourane, and upon stimulation of G-protein coupled receptors, such as mAChR M1 and GluR-1. There are four isoforms of KCNT2 that are produced as a result of alternative splicing events.
