Gene information for KCNJ13 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID3769
Official gene symbolKCNJ13
Full namepotassium inwardly-rectifying channel, subfamily J, member 13
Aliases,KIR1.4,KIR7.1,MGC33328,SVD,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the inwardly rectifying potassium channel family of proteins. Members of this family form ion channel pores that allow potassium ions to pass into a cell. The encoded protein belongs to a subfamily of low signal channel conductance proteins that have a low dependence on potassium concentration. Mutations in this gene are associated with snowflake vitreoretinal degeneration. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
