As of 2026-09-14

Potassium channel subfamily K member 18 shows late clinical disease relevance led by acute respiratory distress syndrome. 5 more disease programs remain visible in the same review block. 2 linked drugs keep the current disease frame grounded. Protein identity stays anchored to UniProt Q7Z418. Start with acute respiratory distress syndrome, then reuse UniProt Q7Z418 as the stable protein anchor across project notes and exports.

acute respiratory distress syndrome

Potassium channel subfamily K member 18 shows late clinical disease relevance led by acute respiratory distress syndrome. 5 more disease programs remain visible in the same review block. 2 linked drugs remain visible in the same block.

Start review with acute respiratory distress syndrome because it currently carries late clinical support. Linked drugs include ISOFLURANE, SEVOFLURANE. This disease block keeps the Open Targets-ready contract explicit while current evidence comes from ChEMBL mechanism and indication mappings.
