About Kcnj5

Summary

Predicted to enable inward rectifier Potassium Channel activity and voltage-gated Potassium Channel activity involved in atrial cardiac muscle cell action potential repolarization. Predicted to be involved in cardiac conduction; potassium ion import across plasma membrane; and regulation of ion transmembrane transport. Located in T-tubule and external side of plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in atrial fibrillation; long QT syndrome 13; and primary hyperaldosteronism. Orthologous to human KCNJ5 (potassium inwardly rectifying channel subfamily J member 5). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
