About This Section

EntrezGene summary for KCNJ11:
Potassium channels are present in most mammalian cells, where they participate in a wide range of
physiologic responses. The protein encoded by this gene is an integral membrane protein and
inward-rectifier type potassium channel. The encoded protein, which has a greater tendency to
allow potassium to flow into a cell rather than out of a cell, is controlled by G-proteins and is
found associated with the sulfonylurea receptor SUR. Mutations in this gene are a cause of
familial persistent hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia of infancy (PHHI), an autosomal recessive
disorder characterized by unregulated insulin secretion. Defects in this gene may also contribute
to autosomal dominant non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus type II (NIDDM), transient neonatal
diabetes mellitus type 3 (TNDM3), and permanent neonatal diabetes mellitus (PNDM). [provided by
RefSeq]

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: IRK11_HUMAN, Q14654
Function: This receptor is controlled by G proteins. 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. Can be blocked by extracellular barium (By similarity)

  • Defects in KCNJ11 are the cause of familial hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia type 2 (HHF2)
    [MIM:601820]; also known as persistent hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia of infancy (PPHI) or
    hyperinsulinism. HHF2 is the most common cause of persistent hypoglycemia in infancy and is due to
    defective negative feedback regulation of insulin secretion by low glucose levels. It causes
    nesidioblastosis, a diffuse abnormality of the pancreas in which there is extensive, often
    disorganized formation of new islets. Unless early and aggressive intervention is undertaken,
    brain damage from recurrent episodes of hypoglycemia may occur
  • Defects in KCNJ11 are a cause of permanent neonatal diabetes mellitus (PNDM) [MIM:606176].
    PNDM is a rare form of diabetes characterized by insulin-requiring hyperglycemia that is diagnosed
    within the first months of life
  • Defects in KCNJ11 are the cause of transient neonatal diabetes mellitus type 3 (TNDM3)
    [MIM:610582]. Neonatal diabetes mellitus, defined as insulin-requiring hyperglycemia within the
    first month of life, is a rare entity. In about half of the neonates, diabetes is transient and
    resolves at a median age of 3 months, whereas the rest have a permanent form of diabetes. In a
    significant number of patients with transient neonatal diabetes mellitus, diabetes type 2 appears
    later in life. The onset and severity of TNDM3 is variable with childhood-onset diabetes,
    gestational diabetes or adult-onset diabetes described
  • Defects in KCNJ11 may contribute to non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), also
    known as diabetes mellitus type 2
