Summary Summary of gene provided in NCBI Entrez Gene.
Several different potassium channels are known to be involved with electrical signaling in the nervous system. One class is activated by depolarization whereas a second class is not. The latter are referred to as inwardly rectifying K+ channels, and they

Protein name Inward rectifier potassium channel 4 (HIRK2) (HRK1) (Hippocampal inward rectifier) (HIR) (Inward rectifier K(+) channel Kir2.3) (IRK-3) (Potassium channel, inwardly rectifying subfamily J member 4)
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
