About This Section
| Entrez Gene summary for KCNJ14: Potassium channels are present in most mammalian cells, where they participate in a wide range of physiologicresponses. The protein encoded by this gene is an integral membrane protein and inward-rectifier type potassiumchannel, and probably has a role in controlling the excitability of motor neurons. Two transcript variants encodingthe same protein have been found for this gene. (provided by RefSeq) UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: IRK14_HUMAN, Q9UNX9Function: Inward rectifier potassium channels are characterized by a greater tendency to allow potassium to flow intothe cell rather than out of it. Their voltage dependence is regulated by the concentration of extracellular potassium;as external potassium is raised, the voltage range of the channel opening shifts to more positive voltages. The inwardrectification is mainly due to the blockage of outward current by internal magnesium. KCNJ14 gives rise tolow-conductance channels with a low affinity to the channel blockers Barium and Cesium (By similarity)
summary
for KCNJ14: The inward-rectifier potassium channel family (also known as 2-TM channels) include the strong inward-rectifier channels (KIR2.x), the G-protein-activated inward-rectifier channels (KIR3.x) and the ATP-sensitive channels (KIR6.x, which combine with sulphonylurea receptors (SUR)). Structurally, the pore-forming subunit of KIR channels is the alpha-subunit. It contains a single pore domain between two membrane spanning regions. Four alpha-subunits combine to form a tetramer, with the pore domain of each subunit contributing to the structure of the central pore. Heteromeric channels can also be formed within subfamilies, e.g. KIR3.2 with KIR3.3. Gene Wiki entry for KCNJ14 |
