Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens
Potassium channel subfamily K member 18 (KCNK18), also known as TWIK-related spinal cord potassium channel (TRESK) or K2P 18.1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KCNK18 gene . K2P 18.1 is a potassium channel containing two pore-forming P domains.[ 5]
A flaw in this gene could help trigger migraine headaches. If the gene does not work properly, environmental factors can more easily trigger pain centres in the brain and cause a severe headache.[ 6]
