Summary
Predicted to enable PDZ domain binding activity and inward rectifier potassium channel activity. Predicted to be involved in potassium ion import across plasma membrane and regulation of monoatomic ion transmembrane transport. Is active in glutamatergic synapse and postsynaptic membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal gland; alimentary system; heart; telencephalon; and thymus. Orthologous to human KCNJ4 (potassium inwardly rectifying channel subfamily J member 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
