Gene:
potassium inwardly-rectifying channel, subfamily J, member 12
Gene ID:
191641
Symbol:
KCNJ12
Species:
1000
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.
