Gene information for KCNJ10 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID3766
Official gene symbolKCNJ10
Full namepotassium inwardly-rectifying channel, subfamily J, member 10
Aliases,BIRK-10,KCNJ13-PEN,KIR1.2,KIR4.1,SESAME,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the inward rectifier-type potassium channel family, characterized by having a greater tendency to allow potassium to flow into, rather than out of, a cell. The encoded protein may form a heterodimer with another potassium channel protein and may be responsible for the potassium buffering action of glial cells in the brain. Mutations in this gene have been associated with seizure susceptibility of common idiopathic generalized epilepsy syndromes. [provided by RefSeq]
