Function
May be responsible for potassium buffering action of glial cells in the brain. Inward rectifier potassium channels are characterized by a greater tendency to allow potassium to flow into the 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.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Membrane (Multi-pass membrane protein); Basolateral cell membrane
Tissue Specificity: Predominantly expressed in the brain, including in glial cells of the cerebellum and forebrain. Expressed at lower levels in the kidney, and other peripheral tissues
