Description
Enables inward rectifier potassium channel activity. Predicted to be involved in potassium ion import across plasma membrane. Predicted to be located in T-tubule. Predicted to be part of monoatomic ion channel complex. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including heart; myotome; olfactory system; pectoral fin; and pharyngeal arch. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Andersen-Tawil syndrome; familial atrial fibrillation; familial periodic paralysis; and short QT syndrome. Orthologous to human KCNJ2 (potassium inwardly rectifying channel subfamily J member 2).
