Gene summary | | Inwardly rectifying potassium channels, such as KCNJ18, maintain resting membrane potential in excitable cells and aid in repolarization of cells following depolarization. KCNJ18 is primarily expressed in skeletal muscle and is transcriptionally regulated by thyroid hormone (Ryan et al., 2010 [PubMed 20074522]).[supplied by OMIM] |
