Summary: Contributes to inward rectifier potassium channel activity. Predicted to be involved in cardiac conduction; potassium ion import across plasma membrane; and regulation of monoatomic ion transmembrane transport. Located in T-tubule and external side of plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in atrial fibrillation; long QT syndrome 13; and primary hyperaldosteronism. Orthologous to human KCNJ5 (potassium inwardly rectifying channel subfamily J member 5). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
