KIR6.1, uKATP-1
Potassium channels are present in most mammalian cells, where they participate in a wide range of physiologic responses. KCNJ8 is an integral membrane protein and inward-rectifier type potassium channel. KCNJ8, which has a greater tendency to allow potassium to flow into a cell rather than out of a cell, is controlled by G-proteins.Potassium channels are present in most mammalian cells, where they participate in a wide range of physiologic responses.
