{{Short description|Class of transport proteins}} {{Redirect|TASK|other uses|Task (disambiguation){{!}}Task}} {{distinguish|text=the small family of two-pore channels}} The '''two-pore-domain''' or '''tandem pore domain potassium channels''' are a family of 15 members that form what is known as '''leak channels''' which possess Goldman-Hodgkin-Katz (open) rectification.<ref name="Goldstein">{{cite journal | vauthors = Goldstein SA, Bayliss DA, Kim D, Lesage F, Plant LD, Rajan S | title = International Union of Pharmacology.

Each inward-rectifier potassium channel α-subunit is composed of two transmembrane α-helices, a pore helix and a potassium ion selectivity filter sequence and assembles into a tetramer forming the complete channel.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Doyle DA, Morais Cabral J, Pfuetzner RA, Kuo A, Gulbis JM, Cohen SL, Chait BT, MacKinnon R | display-authors = 6 | title = The structure of the potassium channel: molecular basis of K+ conduction and selectivity | journal = Science | volume = 280 | issue = 5360 | pages = 69–77 | date = April 1998 | pmid = 9525859 | doi = 10.1126/science.280.5360.69 | bibcode = 1998Sci...280...69D }}</ref> The two-pore domain potassium channels instead are dimers where each subunit is essentially two α-subunits joined together.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Miller AN, Long SB | title = Crystal structure of the human two-pore domain potassium channel K2P1 | journal = Science | volume = 335 | issue = 6067 | pages = 432–436 | date = January 2012 | pmid = 22282804 | doi = 10.1126/science.1213274 | bibcode = 2012Sci...335..432M | s2cid = 206537279 }}</ref>
