Description

potassium inwardly-rectifying channel, subfamily J, member 11

Gene Summary

Enables several functions, including ankyrin binding activity; monoatomic cation transmembrane transporter activity; and transmembrane transporter binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to nicotine; potassium ion import across plasma membrane; and response to ischemia. Located in several cellular components, including axolemma; cell body fiber; and cytoplasmic vesicle. Part of inward rectifying potassium channel. Is active in glutamatergic synapse and presynaptic membrane. Biomarker of brain disease (multiple); glucose metabolism disease (multiple); hypertension; and sciatic neuropathy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in glucose metabolism disease (multiple). Orthologous to human KCNJ11 (potassium inwardly rectifying channel subfamily J member 11).
