Entrez Gene summary for KCNJ13:

This gene encodes a member of the inwardly rectifying potassium channel family of proteins. Members of this family form

ion channel pores that allow potassium ions to pass into a cell. The encoded protein belongs to a subfamily of low

signal channel conductance proteins that have a low dependence on potassium concentration. Mutations in this gene are

associated with snowflake vitreoretinal degeneration. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript

variants.(provided by RefSeq, Feb 2010)

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: IRK13_HUMAN, O60928

Function: 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. KCNJ13 has a very low single

channel conductance, low sensitivity to block by external barium and cesium, and no dependence of its inward

rectification properties on the internal blocking particle magnesium

summary for KCNJ13:

The inward-rectifier potassium channel family (also known as 2-TM channels) include the strong

inward-rectifier channels (KIR2.x), the G-protein-activated inward-rectifier channels (KIR3.x) and the

ATP-sensitive channels (KIR6.x, which combine with sulphonylurea receptors (SUR)). Structurally, the

pore-forming subunit of KIR channels is the alpha-subunit. It contains a single pore domain between two

membrane spanning regions. Four alpha-subunits combine to form a tetramer, with the pore domain of each

subunit contributing to the structure of the central pore. Heteromeric channels can also be formed within

subfamilies, e.g. KIR3.2 with KIR3.3.

Defects in KCNJ13 are the cause of snowflake vitreoretinal degeneration (SVD) [MIM:193230]. SVD is a

developmental and progressive hereditary eye disorder that affects multiple tissues within the eye. Diagnostic

features of SVD include fibrillar degeneration of the vitreous humor, early-onset cataract, minute crystalline

deposits in the neurosensory retina, and retinal detachment

Defects in KCNJ13 are the cause of Leber congenital amaurosis type 16 (LCA16) [MIM:614186]. LCA16 is a severe

dystrophy of the retina, typically becoming evident in the first years of life. Visual function is usually poor and

often accompanied by nystagmus, sluggish or near-absent pupillary responses, photophobia, high hyperopia and

keratoconus
