Protein name Inward rectifier potassium channel 18 (Inward rectifier K(+) channel Kir2.6) (Potassium channel, inwardly rectifying subfamily J member 18)
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
