Entrez ID 3769
Gene name Potassium inwardly rectifying channel subfamily J member 13
Gene symbol KCNJ13
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
KIR1.4KIR7.1LCA16SVD
Chromosome 2
Chromosome location 2q37.1
Summary This gene encodes a member of the inwardly rectifying potassium channel family of proteins. Members of this family form ion channel pores that allow potassium ions to pass into a cell. The encoded protein belongs to a subfamily of low signal channel condu

Protein name Inward rectifier potassium channel 13 (Inward rectifier K(+) channel Kir7.1) (Potassium channel, inwardly rectifying subfamily J member 13)
Protein function 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 potass
