  Potassium channel, subfamily U, member 1, also known as KCNU1, is a gene encoding the $K_{Ca}5.1$ protein.
  
  Although this channel is structurally related to the calcium-activated potassium channels, it cannot be classified as such since it is activated by high intracellular pH and relatively insensitive to changes in calcium concentrations.
