Potassium 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. It is activated by
internal ATP and probably plays an important role in potassium
homeostasis. The encoded protein has a greater tendency to allow
potassium to flow into a cell rather than out of a cell. Mutations
in this gene have been associated with antenatal Bartter syndrome,
which is characterized by salt wasting, hypokalemic alkalosis,
hypercalciuria, and low blood pressure. Multiple transcript
variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.1) Bailey, S.D., et al. Diabetes Care 33(10):2250-2253(2010)
