Entrez Gene summary for KCNJ2:
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, probably participates in establishing action potential waveform and excitability of neuronal and muscle tissues.
Mutations in this gene have been associated with Andersen syndrome, which is characterized by periodic paralysis,
cardiac arrhythmias, and dysmorphic features. (provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008)

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: IRK2_HUMAN, P63252
Function: 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. Can be blocked by extracellular
barium or cesium

summary for KCNJ2:
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.

    OMIM gene information: 600681   
    OMIM disorders: 170390  609622  
    UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: IRK2_HUMAN, P63252
  • Defects in KCNJ2 are the cause of long QT syndrome type 7 (LQT7) [MIM:170390]; also called Andersen syndrome
  • or Andersen cardiodysrhythmic periodic paralysis. Long QT syndromes are heart disorders characterized by a prolonged
    QT interval on the ECG and polymorphic ventricular arrhythmias. They cause syncope and sudden death in response to
    excercise or emotional stress. LQT7 manifests itself as a clinical triad consisting of potassium-sensitive periodic
    paralysis, ventricular ectopy and dysmorphic features
  • Defects in KCNJ2 are the cause of short QT syndrome type 3 (SQT3) [MIM:609622]. Short QT syndromes are heart
  • disorders characterized by idiopathic persistently and uniformly short QT interval on ECG in the absence of structural
    heart disease in affected individuals. They cause syncope and sudden death. SQT3 has a unique ECG phenotype
    characterized by asymmetrical T waves
  • Defects in KCNJ2 are the cause of familial atrial fibrillation type 9 (ATFB9) [MIM:613980]. ATFB9 is a
  • familial form of atrial fibrillation, a common sustained cardiac rhythm disturbance. Atrial fibrillation is
    characterized by disorganized atrial electrical activity and ineffective atrial contraction promoting blood stasis in
    the atria and reduces ventricular filling. It can result in palpitations, syncope, thromboembolic stroke, and
    congestive heart failure
