    FAMILY
  • potassium channel subfamily J
  • inward rectifier-type potassium channel family
  • CATEGORY transport channel
    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     plasma membrane
    basic FUNCTION
  • participating in establishing action potential waveform and excitability of neuronal and muscle tissues
  • KCNJ2 and KCNJ12 are primary determinants of endogenous K(+) conductance in aortic endothelial cells under resting conditions and KCNJ12 provides the dominant conductance in these cells
  • KCNJ2 and KCNJ12 have two distinct lipid requirements for activity: a specific requirement for INPP5J and a nonspecific requirement for anionic phospholipids
