KCNJ2
Most mammalian cells include potassium channels, which are involved in a variety of physiologic reactions. This gene produces an inward-rectifier type potassium channel that is an integral membrane protein. The encoded protein likely plays a role in determining the action potential waveform and excitability of neuronal and muscular tissues because it has a stronger propensity to allow potassium to flow into cells as opposed to out of them. Andersen syndrome, which is characterized by recurrent paralysis, cardiac arrhythmias, and dysmorphic traits, has been linked to mutations in this gene.
