| Gene Symbol | KCNK10 |
| Full Name | Potassium Two Pore Domain Channel Subfamily K Member 10 |
| Chromosome | 3p24.3 |
| Function | The KCNK10 gene encodes the potassium two pore domain channel subfamily K member 10, also known as TASK-3 (TWIK-related acid-sensitive potassium channel 3). |
| Primary Expression | substantia nigra dopaminergic neurons - TASK-3 currents protect against MPTP-induced parkinsonism in mice - May modulate neuronal vulnerability to oxi |
