SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION

plasma membrane

basic FUNCTION	playing a crucial role in regulating the heartbeat
	important functional effector of the P2Y(12) receptor in platelets
	having a critical role for depotentiation, one form of excitatory synaptic plasticity
	KCNJ3 channel is involved in the TLR4-mediated signal at an early event by facilitating the recruitment of TLR4 into lipid raft
	potentially playing a crucial role in TLR4-mediated signaling, presumably by facilitating the formation of signaling complex in the lipid raft
	KCNJ3 channel plays a crucial role in the activation of NFKB induced by TLR4 and is thereby involved in the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines
