About KCNJ16

Cytogenetic location: 17q24.3 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 17:70,075,225-70,135,608 (from NCBI)

This gene has 10 transcripts (splice variants), 255 orthologues, 15 paralogues and is associated with 1 phenotype. Biased expression in kidney (RPKM 78.7), thyroid (RPKM 73.9) and 4 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, which tends to allow potassium to flow into rather than out of a cell, can form heterodimers with two Other inward-rectifier type potassium channels. It may function in fluid and pH balance regulation. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2014]
