Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.5.0)
Enables inward rectifier potassium channel activity and voltage-gated monoatomic ion channel activity involved in regulation of presynaptic membrane potential. Contributes to G-protein activated inward rectifier potassium channel activity. Acts upstream of or within thyroid hormone metabolic process. Located in membrane. Is active in parallel fiber to Purkinje cell synapse; postsynapse; and presynaptic membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; eye; genitourinary system; and skeleton. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in alcohol use disorder and heroin dependence. Orthologous to human KCNJ6 (potassium inwardly rectifying channel subfamily J member 6).
