This protein is thought to be one of multiple inwardly rectifying channels which contribute to the cardiac inward rectifier current (IK1). The gene is located within the Smith-Magenis syndrome region on chromosome 17. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]. * **UniProt Summary**: Inward rectifying potassium channel that is activated by phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate and that probably participates in controlling the resting membrane potential in electrically excitable cells. Probably participates in establishing action potential waveform and excitability of neuronal and muscle tissues. Inward rectifier potassium channels are characterized by a greater tendency to allow potassium to flow into the cell rather than out of it. Their voltage dependence is regulated by the concentration of extracellular potassium; as external potassium is raised, the voltage range of the channel opening shifts to more positive voltages. The inward rectification is mainly due to the blockage of outward current by internal magnesium. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12417321, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20921230, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7859381, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8647284}. |IRK N| |IRK| |intrinsic component of membrane| |inward rectifier potassium channel activity| |potassium ion import across plasma membrane| |inorganic cation import across plasma membrane| |inorganic ion import across plasma membrane| |protein homotetramerization| |cardiac conduction| |import across plasma membrane| |multicellular organismal signaling| |protein tetramerization| |potassium ion transmembrane transport| |potassium ion transport| |regulation of heart contraction| |muscle contraction| |regulation of blood circulation| |muscle system process| |protein homooligomerization| |monovalent inorganic cation transport| |regulation of ion transmembrane transport| |protein complex oligomerization| |inorganic cation transmembrane transport| |regulation of transmembrane transport| |regulation of system process| |cation transmembrane transport| |metal ion transport| |inorganic ion transmembrane transport| |import into cell| |regulation of ion transport| |cation transport| |ion transmembrane transport| |transmembrane transport| |ion transport| |protein-containing complex assembly| |protein-containing complex subunit organization| |regulation of transport| |system process| \\ === CRISPR Data === ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp447|Amiloride 100μM R08 exp447]]|1.71| ^Gene^Correlation^ |[[:human genes:r:rrm1|RRM1]]|0.446| |[[:human genes:p:prim1|PRIM1]]|0.435| |[[:human genes:p:polr2j3|POLR2J3]]|0.432| Global Fraction of Cell Lines Where Essential: 1/739 ^Tissue^Fraction Of Cell Lines Where Essential^ |1290807.0|0/1| |909776.0|0/1| |bile duct|0/28| |blood|0/28| |bone|0/26| |breast|0/33| |central nervous system|0/56| |cervix|0/4| |colorectal|0/17| |esophagus|0/13| |fibroblast|0/1| |gastric|0/16| |kidney|0/21| |liver|0/20| |lung|0/75| |lymphocyte|0/16| |ovary|0/26| |pancreas|0/24| |peripheral nervous system|1/16| |plasma cell|0/15| |prostate|0/1| |skin|0/24| |soft tissue|0/9| |thyroid|0/2| |upper aerodigestive|0/22| |urinary tract|0/29| |uterus|0/5| == Essentiality in NALM6 == * **Essentiality Rank**: 2813 * **Expression level (log2 read counts)**: 4.96 {{:chemogenomics:nalm6 dist.png?nolink |}}
