This gene has 2 transcripts (splice variants), 207 orthologues, 15 paralogues and is associated with 3 phenotypes. Biased expression in brain (RPKM 1.1), stomach (RPKM 0.3) and 7 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the G protein-coupled inwardly-rectifying Potassium Channel family of inward rectifier potassium channels. This type of Potassium Channel allows a greater flow of potassium into the cell than out of it. These proteins modulate many physiological processes, including heart rate in cardiac cells and circuit activity in neuronal cells, through G-protein coupled receptor stimulation. Mutations in this gene are associated with Keppen-Lubinsky Syndrome, a rare condition characterized by severe developmental delay, facial dysmorphism, and intellectual disability.
