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 transmembrane transport; regulation of heart rate by cardiac conduction; and regulation of ventricular cardiac muscle cell membrane repolarization. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including gut; male reproductive gland or organ; nervous system; retina; and skin. Used to study glucose metabolism disease. Orthologous to human KCNH6 (potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily H member 6).
