Protein name Inward rectifier potassium channel 16 (Inward rectifier K(+) channel Kir5.1) (Potassium channel, inwardly rectifying subfamily J member 16)
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
