Automated Description
Predicted to enable inward rectifier potassium channel activity. Predicted to be involved in potassium ion import across plasma membrane and regulation of monoatomic ion transmembrane transport. Predicted to act upstream of or within monoatomic ion transmembrane transport and potassium ion transport. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be part of monoatomic ion channel complex. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Leber congenital amaurosis 16 and snowflake vitreoretinal degeneration. Orthologous to human KCNJ13 (potassium inwardly rectifying channel subfamily J member 13).
