constitutional       loss of function
KCNK2 deficient cells have less F-actin and are more deformable making them more resistant to stretch-induced injury
constitutional     --over  
in human endometrium with molecular expression of KCNK2 shown to be higher in proliferative than secretory phase endometrium
constitutional     --over  
during gestation to term such that it may maintain uterine quiescence by hyperpolarizing the smooth muscle cell membrane
