General annotation (Comments)

Function

Probably participates in establishing action potential waveform and excitability of neuronal and muscle tissues. Inward rectifier potassium channels are characterized by a greater tendency to allow potassium to flow into the cell rather than out of it. Their voltage dependence is regulated by the concentration of extracellular potassium; as external potassium is raised, the voltage range of the channel opening shifts to more positive voltages. The inward rectification is mainly due to the blockage of outward current by internal magnesium. Can be blocked by extracellular barium and cesium.

Subunit structure

Homomultimeric and heteromultimeric association with Kir2.3, resulting in an enhanced G-protein-induced current. Association, via its PDZ-recognition domain, with LIN7A, LIN7B, LIN7C, DLG1, CASK and APBA1 plays a key role in its localization and trafficking By similarity.

Subcellular location

Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.

Tissue specificity

Prominently expressed in the central nervous system. Also found in other excitable tissues such as heart and skeletal muscle.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the inward rectifier-type potassium channel (TC 1.A.2.1) family. KCNJ2 subfamily. [View classification]
