Function
KCNKD_HUMAN K(+) channel that conducts outward rectifying tonic currents potentiated by purinergic signals (PubMed:24163367, PubMed:25148687, PubMed:30472253, PubMed:38409076). Homo- and heterodimerizes to form functional channels with distinct regulatory and gating properties (PubMed:25148687). Contributes most of K(+) currents at the plasma membrane of resting microglia. Maintains a depolarized membrane potential required for proper ramified microglia morphology and phagocytosis, selectively mediating microglial pruning of presynaptic compartments at hippocampal excitatory synapses (PubMed:38409076). Upon local release of ATP caused by neuronal injury or infection, it is potentiated by P2RY12 and P2RX7 receptor signaling and contributes to ATP-triggered K(+) efflux underlying microglial NLRP3 inflammasome assembly and IL1B release (By similarity) (PubMed:38409076).[UniProtKB:Q8R1P5][1] [2] [3] [4]
