Entrez ID 3772
Gene name Potassium inwardly rectifying channel subfamily J member 15
Gene symbol KCNJ15
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
IRKKKIR1.3KIR4.2
Chromosome 21
Chromosome location 21q22.13-q22.2
Summary Potassium channels are present in most mammalian cells, where they participate in a wide range of physiologic responses. The protein encoded by this gene is an integral membrane protein and inward-rectifier type potassium channel. The encoded protein has

Protein name ATP-sensitive inward rectifier potassium channel 15 (Inward rectifier K(+) channel Kir1.3) (Inward rectifier K(+) channel Kir4.2) (Potassium channel, inwardly rectifying subfamily J member 15)
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
