Description
Exhibits 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. Is expressed in atrium and cardiac ventricle. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Andersen-Tawil syndrome; familial atrial fibrillation; familial periodic paralysis; and short QT syndrome. Orthologous to human KCNJ2 (potassium inwardly rectifying channel subfamily J member 2).
