Summaries for KCNJ2 Gene

Entrez Gene Summary for KCNJ2 Gene

  • 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]

GeneCards Summary for KCNJ2 Gene

KCNJ2 (Potassium Voltage-Gated Channel Subfamily J Member 2) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with KCNJ2 include Andersen Syndrome and Short Qt Syndrome 3. Among its related pathways are Cardiac conduction and Inwardly rectifying K+ channels. GO annotations related to this gene include identical protein binding and inward rectifier potassium channel activity. An important paralog of this gene is KCNJ12.

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot for KCNJ2 Gene

  • 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.

Tocris Summary for KCNJ2 Gene

  • 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.

  • Atrial fibrillation, familial, 9 (ATFB9) [MIM:613980]: 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. {ECO:0000269 PubMed:15922306}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
  • Long QT syndrome 7 (LQT7) [MIM:170390]: A heart disorder characterized by a prolonged QT interval on the ECG and polymorphic ventricular arrhythmias. They cause syncope and sudden death in response to exercise or emotional stress, and can present with a sentinel event of sudden cardiac death in infancy. Long QT syndrome type 7 manifests itself as a clinical triad consisting of potassium-sensitive periodic paralysis, ventricular ectopy and dysmorphic features. {ECO:0000269 PubMed:11371347, ECO:0000269 PubMed:12148092, ECO:0000269 PubMed:12163457, ECO:0000269 PubMed:16571646, ECO:0000269 PubMed:17324964}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
  • Short QT syndrome 3 (SQT3) [MIM:609622]: A heart disorder characterized by idiopathic persistently and uniformly short QT interval on ECG in the absence of structural heart disease in affected individuals. It causes syncope and sudden death. SQT3 has a unique ECG phenotype characterized by asymmetrical T waves. {ECO:0000269 PubMed:15761194}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
