Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.3.0)
Contributes to G-protein activated inward rectifier potassium channel activity. Predicted to be involved in membrane repolarization during atrial cardiac muscle cell action potential; potassium ion import across plasma membrane; and regulation of heart rate by cardiac conduction. Part of inward rectifier potassium channel complex. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; heart; intestine; and liver lobe. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in atrial fibrillation; long QT syndrome 13; and primary hyperaldosteronism. Orthologous to human KCNJ5 (potassium inwardly rectifying channel subfamily J member 5).
