KCNJ15 - potassium inwardly rectifying channel subfamily J member 15 Gene
Also Known as IRKK; KIR1.3; KIR4.2
Species: Homo sapiens
About KCNJ15
This gene has 22 transcripts (splice variants), 198 orthologues and 15 paralogues. Biased expression in kidney (RPKM 38.5), thyroid (RPKM 23.6) and 6 other tissues.
Summary
Potassium channels are present in most mammalian cells, where they participate in a wide range of physiologic responses. The protein encoded by this gene is an integral membrane protein and inward-rectifier type Potassium Channel. The encoded protein has a greater tendency to allow potassium to flow into a cell rather than out of a cell. Eight transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene.
