General annotation (Comments)

Function

This receptor is controlled by G proteins. 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. Ref.4

Subunit structure

Homomultimeric and heteromultimeric association with Kir2.1, resulting in an enhanced G-protein-induced current. Interacts with TAX1BP3. TAX1BP3 competes with LIN7 family members for KCNJ4 binding By similarity. Association, via its PDZ-recognition domain, with LIN7A, LIN7B, LIN7C, DLG1, CASK and APBA1 plays a key role in its localization and trafficking. Ref.4

Subcellular location

Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Cytoplasmic vesicle membrane By similarity. Note: TAX1BP3 binding promotes dissociation of KCNJ4 from LIN7 famaly members and KCNJ4 internalization By similarity.

Tissue specificity

Detected in kidney distal convoluted tubules (at protein level). Widely expressed throughout the brain. Also found in some peripheral tissues. Ref.5

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the inward rectifier-type potassium channel (TC 1.A.2.1) family. KCNJ4 subfamily. [View classification]
