KCNJ18, potassium inwardly rectifying channel subfamily J member 18

KCNJ18, potassium inwardly rectifying channel subfamily J member 18

• This gene encodes a member of the inwardly rectifying potassium channel family. Transcription of this locus is regulated by thyroid hormone, and the encoded protein plays a role in resting membrane potential maintenance. Mutations in this locus have been associated with thyrotoxic hypokalemic periodic paralysis. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2013]
