Summary: The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the family of potassium channel proteins containing two pore-forming P domains. This channel is an open rectifier which primarily passes outward current under physiological K+ concentrations. This gene is expressed predominantly in the pancreas and is activated at alkaline pH. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2008]

What's a GeneRIF?

data establish TALK-1 channels as key regulators of beta cell ER Ca(2+) and suggest that TALK-1 may be a therapeutic target to reduce ER Ca(2+) handling defects in beta cells during the pathogenesis of diabetes.
Title: TALK-1 channels control β cell endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) homeostasis.
The TALK-1/iOPN complex caused Vm hyperpolarization and reduced beta-cell glucose-stimulated Ca2+ influx, which is predicted to inhibit glucose stimulated insulin secretion.
Title: Osteopontin activates the diabetes-associated potassium channel TALK-1 in pancreatic β-cells.
These findings reveal TALK-1 channels as important modulators of second-phase insulin secretion and suggest a clinically relevant mechanism for rs1535500, which may increase type 2 diabetes risk by limiting glucose-stimulated insulin secretion.
Title: Type 2 Diabetes-Associated K+ Channel TALK-1 Modulates β-Cell Electrical Excitability, Second-Phase Insulin Secretion, and Glucose Homeostasis.
at least two functional TALK-1 variants are present and may serve as background K+ currents in certain cells of the human pancreas.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
