1.A.2.1.11
Inward rectifying potassium channel 16, Kir5.1 or KCNJ16. (Potassium channel subfamily J member 16).  Involved in pH and fluid regulation.  Forms heteromers with Kir4.1/KCNJ10 or Kir2.1/KCNJ2. MAGI-1 anchors Kir4.1 channels (Kir4.1 homomer and Kir4.1/Kir5.1 heteromer) and contributes to basolateral K+ recycling. The Kir4.1 A167V mutation is associated with EAST/SeSAME syndrome caused by mistrafficking of the mutant channels and inhibiting their expression on the basolateral surface of tubular cells. These findings suggest that mislocalization of the Kir4.1 channels contributes to renal salt wasting. (Tanemoto et al. 2014).
