1.A.2.1.18
Inward rectifier potassium channel 4, KCNJ4, IRK3 or 4, of 445 aas. Its 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, and it can be blocked by extracellular barium and cesium. It may play a role in the control of polyamine-mediated channel gating and in the blocking by intracellular magnesium. Overexpression of KCNJ4 correlates with cancer progression and nfavorable prognosis in lung adenocarcinoma (Wu and Yu 2019).
