General annotation (Comments)

Function

This potassium channel is controlled by G proteins. It may be involved in the regulation of insulin secretion by glucose and/or neurotransmitters. 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 external barium or cesium.

Subunit structure

Associates with GIRK1 or GIRK4 to form a G-protein-activated heteromultimer pore-forming unit. The resulting inward current is much larger By similarity.

Subcellular location

Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.

Tissue specificity

Pancreatic beta cells and brain.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the inward rectifier-type potassium channel (TC 1.A.2.1) family. KCNJ6 subfamily. [View classification]
