Associated Protein Comments
Heteromultimers shown to form in vivo: K2P9 has been shown to form heterodimers with K2P3 in rat cerebellar granule neurons [3], in rat carotid body glomus cells [4] and in motoneurons [1] and with K2P1 in rat cerebellar granule neurons [9].

Protein-protein interactions: K2P9 has been found to associate with 14-3-3 and COP1 to control forward trafficking of the channel from the ER [7]. The activity of K2P9-K2P1 heterodimers is under the control of SUMOylation of the K2P1 subunit [9].

Channel Blocker Comments
Expression of TASK-3 in Xenopus oocytes revealed an outwardly rectifying K(+) current that was strongly decreased in the presence of lower extracellular pH (< 6.5). Substitution of the histidine residue His-98 by asparagine or tyrosine abolished pH sensitivity. This histidine, which is located at the outer part of the pore adjacent to the selectivity filter, may be an essential component of the extracellular pH sensor [10].

General Comments
‘Activation’ and ‘deactivation’ with voltage steps appear to be instantaneous. The guinea-pig variant is reported to have the same conductance and distribution as human and have a conductance of 60pS. Northern blot analysis suggests that rat K2P9.1 expression outside the CNS is extremely low, as is noted for the human and guinea pig gene. K2P9 gene is amplified in several human carcinomas and over expression of K2P9 protein in cell lines promotes tumor formation. Like K2P3 surface expression of K2P9 is dependent on its association with 14-3-3 to release it from the endoplasmic reticulum [6,8]. Potential heterodimerisation of K2P9 is discussed under K2P3.
