CATEGORY

receptor , transport channel

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION

plasma membrane

basic FUNCTION	G protein coupled, potassium non voltage-gated channel, inwardly rectifying
	having a critical role for depotentiation, one form of excitatory synaptic plasticity
	having a decisive role in regulating NCAM1-dependent neurite outgrowth

CELLULAR PROCESS

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

PATHWAY

metabolism

signaling

a component

associates with another G-protein-activated potassium channel (GIRK1) to form a heteromultimeric pore-forming complex

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein

directly binds to the neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM1) and KCNJ9

cell & other

REGULATION

Other

regulated by NTRK2 (regulates the cell surface expression of KCNJ9)
