Organelle-specific potassium channel specifically responsible for potassium conductance in endosomes and lysosomes. Forms a potassium-permeable leak-like channel, which regulates lumenal pH stability and is required for autophagosome-lysosome fusion. Constitutes the major lysosomal potassium channel. Constitutes the pore-forming subunit of the lysoK(GF) complex, a complex activated by extracellular growth factors. The lysoK(GF) complex is composed of TMEM175 and AKT (AKT1, AKT2 or AKT3), a major target of growth factor receptors: in the complex, TMEM175 channel is opened by conformational changes by AKT, leading to its activation. The lysoK(GF) complex is required to protect neurons against stress-induced damage. Channel activity is activated following interaction with AKT (AKT1, AKT2 or AKT3): interaction promotes activation from closed to an open state. Activation by AKT is independent of AKT serine/threonine-protein kinase activity. Homodimer. Interacts with AKT (AKT1, AKT2 or AKT3); leading to formation of the lysoK(GF) complex, which activates the channel. Composed of two modules of six transmembranes, forming a homodimer with a tetrameric architecture. The six transmembrane regions of each module are tightly packed within each subunit without undergoing domain swapping. Forms a central ion-conduction pore lined by the side chains of the pore-lining helices. Conserved isoleucine residues (Ile-46 in the first module and Ile-246 in the second module) in the center of the pore serve as the gate in the closed conformation. In the widened channel in the open conformation, the same residues establish a constriction essential for potassium selectivity. Belongs to the TMEM175 family.
