Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable inward rectifier potassium channel activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including potassium ion import across plasma membrane; regulation of pH; and response to carbon dioxide. Predicted to act upstream of or within monoatomic ion transmembrane transport. Located in plasma membrane. Is expressed in cerebral cortex; floor plate; heart; and metanephros. Orthologous to human KCNJ16 (potassium inwardly rectifying channel subfamily J member 16).
