== Function Summary ==
* **Entrez Summary**: N/A
* **UniProt Summary**: Voltage-insensitive potassium channel (PubMed:22282805). Channel opening is triggered by mechanical forces that deform the membrane (PubMed:22282805, PubMed:25471887, PubMed:25500157). Channel opening is triggered by raising the intracellular pH to basic levels (By similarity). The channel is inactive at 24 degrees Celsius (in vitro); raising the temperature to 37 degrees Celsius increases the frequency of channel opening, with a further increase in channel activity when the temperature is raised to 42 degrees Celsius (By similarity). Plays a role in the perception of pain caused by heat (By similarity). Plays a role in the sensory perception of pain caused by pressure (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:G3V8V5, ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O88454, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22282805, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25471887, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25500157}.
