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. KCNJ16 may be involved in the regulation of fluid and pH balance. In the kidney, together with KCNJ10, mediates basolateral K(+) recycling in distal tubules; this process is critical for Na(+) reabsorption at the tubules (PubMed:24561201). {ECO:0000305|PubMed:24561201}. |IRK| |inward rectifier potassium channel activity| |potassium ion import across plasma membrane| |inorganic cation import across plasma membrane| |inorganic ion import across plasma membrane| |voltage-gated potassium channel complex| |import across plasma membrane| |potassium ion transmembrane transport| |potassium ion transport| |basolateral plasma membrane| |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| |regulation of transport| \\ === CRISPR Data === ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp116|AICAR 240μM R03 exp116]]|1.81| No correlation found to any other genes in chemogenomics.
