    Summary
    Predicted to enable inward rectifier potassium channel activity. Predicted to be involved in potassium ion import across plasma membrane and regulation of ion transmembrane transport. Predicted to act upstream of or within ion transport. Is active in parallel fiber to Purkinje cell synapse. Is integral component of presynaptic membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal gland; alimentary system; brain; male reproductive gland or organ; and thymus. Orthologous to human KCNJ3 (potassium inwardly rectifying channel subfamily J member 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
