Endosomal/lysosomal potassium channel TMEM175 This family represents the conserved region of transmembrane protein 175 which is an organelle-specific potassium channel responsible for potassium conductance in endosomes and lysosomes. It forms a potassium-permeable leak-like channel, which regulates luminal pH stability and is required for autophagosome-lysosome fusion. TMEM175 is the major lysosomal potassium conductance. It is present in eukaryotes, where TMEM175 has two repeats of 6-transmembrane-spanning segments, and also in prokaryotes in which it has one copy. |
