{"symbol":"KCNJ15","synonyms":["KIR1.3","KIR4.2","IRKK"],"name":"potassium channel, inwardly rectifying subfamily J, member 15","description":"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 has a greater tendency to allow potassium to flow into a cell rather than out of a cell. Eight transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene.
