About Kcnj16

Summary

Predicted to enable inward rectifier Potassium Channel activity. Involved in potassium ion transport; regulation of pH; and response to carbon dioxide. Located in basolateral plasma membrane. Used to study hypokalemia and metabolic acidosis. Orthologous to human KCNJ16 (potassium inwardly rectifying channel subfamily J member 16). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
