Gene information for KCNJ15 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID3772
Official gene symbolKCNJ15
Full namepotassium inwardly-rectifying channel, subfamily J, member 15
Aliases,IRKK,KIR1.3,KIR4.2,MGC13584,
Gene summaryPotassium channels are present in most mammalian cells, where they participate in a wide range of physiologic responses. The protein encoded by this gene is an integral membrane protein and inward-rectifier type potassium channel. The encoded protein has a greater tendency to allow potassium to flow into a cell rather than out of a cell. Three transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene.
