Mitochondrial potassium channel

Definition:

Mitochondrial potassium channel located in the mitochondrial inner membrane. Together with ABCB8/MITOSUR, forms a protein complex localized in the mitochondria that mediates ATP-dependent potassium currents across the inner membrane (that is, mitoK(ATP) channel). May contribute to the homeostatic control of cellular metabolism under stress conditions by regulating the mitochondrial matrix volume.
