Summary
KCNJ2 (potassium inwardly rectifying channel subfamily J member 2, HGNC:6263) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 17q24.3, encoding Inward rectifier potassium channel 2 (P63252). Inward rectifier potassium channels are characterized by a greater tendency to allow potassium to flow into the cell rather than out of it.
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.

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. Can be blocked by extracellular barium or cesium. Probably participates in establishing action potential waveform and excitability of neuronal and muscle tissues.
Subunit / interactions. Homotetramer. Homomultimeric and heteromultimeric association with KCNJ4/Kir2.3. Can form heteromeric channels with Kir2.6/KCNJ18. Associates, via its PDZ-recognition domain, with a complex containing LIN7A, LIN7B, LIN7C, DLG1, CASK and APBA1.
Subcellular location. Cell membrane. Sarcolemma. T-tubule.
Tissue specificity. Heart, brain, placenta, lung, skeletal muscle, and kidney. Diffusely distributed throughout the brain.
Post-translational modifications. S-nitrosylation increases the open probability and inward rectifying currents.
Disease relevance. 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. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Short QT syndrome 3 (SQT3) [MIM:609622] A form of short QT syndrome, 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 can cause syncope and sudden death. SQT3 has a unique ECG phenotype characterized by asymmetrical T waves. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. 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. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Activity regulation. Channel opening is promoted by binding phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2).
Similarity. Belongs to the inward rectifier-type potassium channel (TC 1.A.2.1) family. KCNJ2 subfamily.
