Background

Human Inward Rectifier Potassium Channel 2 (KIR2.1), also known as KCNJ2, is a 427 amino acid (aa) integral membrane protein with 98% homology with mouse and rat KIR2.1.   This potassium channel preferentially allows potassium to flow into the cell, which is thought to generate action potential waveform and excitability in neuronal and muscle tissues. Mutations in the KIR2.1 gene are associated with Andersen syndrome, with associated paralysis, cardiac arrhythmias and dysmorphic features. KIR2.1 is widely expressed, notably in heart, placenta, lung, skeletal muscle, kidney and spleen. Expression of KIR2.1 is necessary for development of mature cardiomyocytes from mouse embryonic stem cells.
