Tissue Specificity | Testis-specific. |
Function | Testis-specific potassium channel activated by both intracellular pH and membrane voltage that mediates export of K(+). Represents the primary spermatozoan K(+) current. The channel underlies a pH-triggered membrane hyperpolarization during the process of sperm capacitation, as sperm encounter the alkaline environment near the ovum in the female reproductive tract, thereby playing an essential for male fertility. |
