TAIR Curator Summary | Encodes AtTPK3 (KCO6), a member of the Arabidopsis thaliana K+ channel family of AtTPK/KCO proteins. AtTPK3 is found in the thylakoid stromal lamellae. May form homomeric ion channels in vivo. It modulates the partitioning of the proton motive force (pmf) between the delta psi and delta pH in chloroplasts in vivo at physiological light intensities. 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. |
