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. |IRK| |inward rectifier potassium channel activity| |potassium ion import across plasma membrane| |inorganic ion import across plasma membrane| |inorganic cation import across plasma membrane| |import across plasma membrane| |potassium ion transmembrane transport| |potassium ion transport| |monovalent inorganic cation transport| |regulation of ion transmembrane transport| |inorganic cation transmembrane transport| |regulation of transmembrane transport| |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| |integral component of plasma membrane| |regulation of transport| \\ === CRISPR Data === No hits were found.
