Kcnj4

Enables inward rectifier potassium channel activity. Predicted to be involved in potassium ion import across plasma membrane and regulation of monoatomic ion transmembrane transport. Is active in glutamatergic synapse and postsynaptic membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal gland; alimentary system; heart; telencephalon; and thymus. Orthologous to human KCNJ4 (potassium inwardly rectifying channel subfamily J member 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Kcnj4 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
