Inwardly rectifying potassium channel 5.1: Structure, function, and possible roles in diseases
Inwardly rectifying potassium (Kir) channels make it easier for K+ to enter into a cell and subsequently regulate cellular biological functions. Kir5.1 (encoded by KCNJ16) alone can form a homotetramer and can form heterotetramers with Kir4.1 (encoded by KCNJ10) or Kir4.2 (encoded by KCNJ15). In mos...
