Also known as
Kir5.1; 6430410F18Rik
Summary
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. Located in basolateral plasma membrane. Is expressed in cerebral cortex; floor plate; heart; and metanephros. Orthologous to human KCNJ16 (potassium inwardly rectifying channel subfamily J member 16). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Oct 2024]
Expression
Biased expression in kidney adult (RPKM 63.6), frontal lobe adult (RPKM 5.2) and 3 other tissues See more

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
