Primary Identifier | MGI:1314842 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 16517 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) 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. 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). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit abnormal neuron response to ammonium chloride withdrawal and carbon dioxide treatment. [provided by MGI curators] |
