Facts about Potassium channel subfamily T member 2.
Activated by large intracellular sodium and chloride levels (PubMed:14684870, PubMed:29069600). Channel activity is inhibited by ATP and by inhalation anesthetics, such as isoflurane (PubMed:17699666).

Detected in brain, and at low levels in heart. Detected in brainstem, including auditory neurons such as the medial nucleus of the trapezoid body. Detected in the olfactory bulb, red nucleus, facial nucleus, pontine nucleus, oculomotor nucleus, substantia nigra, deep cerebellar nuclei, vestibular nucleus, and the thalamus. Detected in hippocampal CA1, CA2, and CA3 regions, the dentate gyrus, supraoptic nucleus, hypothalamus, dorsal root ganglion, and cortical layers II, III, and V. Detected in striatum cholinergic interneurons.
