Potassium Inwardly Rectifying Channel Subfamily J Member 1 (KCNJ1)

Target
KCNJ1
Molecular classification
Ion channel, Potassium channel, Inwardly Rectifying Potassium Channel
01

Overview

KCNJ1 encodes an inwardly rectifying potassium channel, primarily expressed in the kidney, that plays a crucial role in potassium homeostasis and fluid balance. Mutations in KCNJ1 are associated with Bartter syndrome type II and may influence hypertension risk. The channel is regulated by intracellular ATP and phosphorylation.
