The Kir2.1 inward-rectifier potassium ion channel is encoded by the KCNJ2 gene.[1][2][3]

Clinical significance

A defect in this gene is associated with Andersen-Tawil syndrome.[4]

A mutation in the KCNJ2 gene has also been shown to cause short QT syndrome.[5]

In research

A trafficking sequence from Kir2.1 has been added to halorhodopsin to improve its membrane localization. The resulting protein eNpHR3.0 is used in optogenetic research to inhibit neurons with light.[6]

Interactions

Kir2.1 has been shown to interact with:
