KCNJ12 Gene Information

HGNC symbol
KCNJ12 
Aliases
hIRK1; IRK2; KCNJN1; Kir2.2; Kir2.2v 
Common name
potassium inwardly rectifying channel subfamily J member 12 
Entrez Id
3768
Description
This gene encodes an inwardly rectifying K+ channel which may be blocked by divalent cations. This protein is thought to be one of multiple inwardly rectifying channels which contribute to the cardiac inward rectifier current (IK1). The gene is located within the Smith-Magenis syndrome region on chromosome 17. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].
