TAIR Curator Summary | Encodes AtTPK1 (KCO1), a member of the Arabidopsis thaliana K+ channel family of AtTPK/KCO proteins. AtTPK1 is targeted to the vacuolar membrane. Forms homomeric ion channels in vivo. Voltage-independent and Ca2+-activated K+ channel. Activated by 14-3-3 proteins. Vacuolar K+-conducting TPC1 and TPK1/TPK3 channels act in concert to provide for Ca2+- and voltageinduced electrical excitability to the central organelle of plant cells. |
