Description
Predicted to have ATP-activated inward rectifier potassium channel activity. Predicted to be involved in potassium ion import across plasma membrane and regulation of ion transmembrane transport. Predicted to localize to plasma membrane. Used to study hypertrichotic osteochondrodysplasia Cantu type. Orthologous to human KCNJ8 (potassium inwardly rectifying channel subfamily J member 8).
