Background

This gene encodes an integral membrane protein which belongs to one of seven subfamilies of inward-rectifier potassium channel proteins called potassium channel subfamily J. The encoded protein is a subunit of the potassium channel which is homotetrameric. It is controlled by G-proteins and has a greater tendency to allow potassium to flow into a cell rather than out of a cell. Naturally occurring mutations in this gene are associated with aldosterone-producing adenomas. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2017]
Protein class

Cancer-related genes, Disease related genes, Human disease related genes, Potential drug targets, Transporters, Voltage-gated ion channels

Predicted location

Membrane

Single cell type specificity

Cell type enriched (Hofbauer cells)

Immune cell specificity

Not detected in immune cells

Cell line specificity

Cell line enriched (HBEC3-KT)

Interaction

May associate with GIRK1 and GIRK2 to form a G-protein-activated heteromultimer pore-forming unit. The resulting inward current is much larger.

Molecular function

Ion channel, Voltage-gated channel
