Description

potassium inwardly-rectifying channel, subfamily J, member 16

Gene Summary

Predicted to enable inward rectifier potassium channel activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including potassium ion import across plasma membrane; regulation of pH; and response to carbon dioxide. Predicted to act upstream of or within potassium ion transmembrane transport. Located in basolateral plasma membrane. Is expressed in cerebral cortex; floor plate; heart; and metanephros. Orthologous to human KCNJ16 (potassium inwardly rectifying channel subfamily J member 16). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jun 2025]
