KCNJ13 - potassium inwardly rectifying channel subfamily J member 13 Gene
Also Known as SVD; LCA16; KIR1.4; KIR7.1
Species: Homo sapiens
About KCNJ13
This gene has 5 transcripts (splice variants), 214 orthologues, 15 paralogues and is associated with 6 phenotypes. Biased expression in small intestine (RPKM 40.5), thyroid (RPKM 3.6) and 1 other tissue.
Summary
This gene encodes a member of the inwardly rectifying Potassium Channel family of proteins. Members of this family form ion channel pores that allow potassium ions to pass into a cell. The encoded protein belongs to a subfamily of low signal channel conductance proteins that have a low dependence on potassium concentration. Mutations in this gene are associated with snowflake vitreoretinal degeneration. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, Feb 2010]
