Potassium channel, subfamily K, member 7, also known as KCNK7 or K_2P7.1 is a protein which is encoded in humans by the KCNK7 gene. K_2P7.1 is a potassium channel containing two pore-forming P domains.^[5]^[6]^[7] Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.^[8]
