| Associated Protein Comments | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Heteromultimers shown to form in vivo: Heterodimerization of K2P12 and K2P13 was recently reported in a heterologous expression system [1]. Protein-protein interactions: An N-terminal endoplasmic retention signal has been reported [2,6] but no protein partners have been identified. |

| Functional Characteristics |
|
| Does not function as a homodimer [5] but can form a functional heterodimer with K2P13 [1]. | |

| Expression has also been reported in brain, heart, lung, kidney, liver, small intestine, colon, pancreas, prostate, placenta, spleen, thymus, and ovary. | ||||||||||
| Gene Expression and Pathophysiology Comments | |
| High expression K2P12 is associated with resistance of lymphomas/leukemias to antitumor γδ T-cell cytotoxicity [3]. Elevated expression of K2P12 was found to be associated with poor ‘progression-free survival’ in B-cell lymphoma [4]. |
