[8] Potassium channels are present in most mammalian cells, where they participate in a wide range of physiologic responses.

The encoded protein, which has a greater tendency to allow potassium to flow into a cell rather than out of a cell, is controlled by G-proteins and may be involved in the regulation of insulin secretion by glucose.

It associates with two other G-protein-activated potassium channels to form a heteromultimeric pore-forming complex.
