Protein name Inward rectifier potassium channel 2 (Cardiac inward rectifier potassium channel) (Inward rectifier K(+) channel Kir2.1) (IRK-1) (hIRK1) (Potassium channel, inwardly rectifying subfamily J member 2)
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 (PubMed:36149965, PubMed:7590287, PubMed:9490857). Their voltage dependence is regulated by the concentrat
