Chromosome | 16 | NCBI Gene Number | 16516 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables potassium channel activity. Acts upstream of or within potassium ion transport. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be part of monoatomic ion channel complex. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; heart; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human KCNJ15 (potassium inwardly rectifying channel subfamily J member 15). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous knockout mice exhibited impaired balance/coordination in a high-throughput screen.
