Official Full Name: potassium inwardly rectifying channel subfamily J member 9
Also known as: GIRK3; KIR3.3
Potassium channels are present in most mammalian cells and they are involved in a wide range of physiological responses. The protein encoded by this gene is an integral membrane protein and inwardly rectifying potassium channel. This encoded protein prefers to allow potassium to flow into the cell rather than out, and it is controlled by the G protein. It associates with another G protein-activated potassium channel to form a heteromeric pore-forming complex.
