TheKir2.6 also known asinward rectifier potassium channel 18 is a protein that in humans is encoded by theKCNJ18gene.[1] Kir2.6 is aninward-rectifier potassium ion channel.

Function

[edit]

Inwardly rectifying potassium channels, such as Kir2.6, maintain resting membrane potential in excitable cells and aid in repolarization of cells following depolarization. Kir2.6 is primarily expressed in skeletal muscle and is transcriptionally regulated bythyroid hormone.[1]

Clinical significance

[edit]

Mutations in this gene have been linked tothyrotoxic periodic paralysis.[1]
