    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; protein homotetramerization; and regulation of monoatomic ion transmembrane transport. Predicted to be located in T-tubule; dendrite; and neuronal cell body. Predicted to be part of monoatomic ion channel complex. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; heart; and integumental system. Orthologous to several human genes including KCNJ12 (potassium inwardly rectifying channel subfamily J member 12). [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.
