ATP-sensitive inward rectifier potassium channel 10is aproteinthat in humans is encoded by theKCNJ10gene.[5][6][7][8]

Function

[edit]

This gene encodes a member of the inward rectifier-type potassium channel family,Kir4.1,characterized by having a greater tendency to allow potassium to flow into, rather than out of, a cell.Kir4.1,may form a heterodimer with another potassium channel protein and may be responsible for the potassium buffering action of glial cells in the brain. Mutations in this gene have been associated with seizure susceptibility of common idiopathic generalized epilepsy syndromes.[8]

EAST syndrome

[edit]

Humans withmutationsin the KCNJ10 gene that causeloss of functionin related K+channels can displayEpilepsy,Ataxia,Sensorineural deafnessandTubulopathy,theEAST syndrome(Gitelman syndromephenotype) reflecting roles for KCNJ10 gene products in the brain,inner earandkidney.[9]The Kir4.1 channel is expressed in theStria vascularisand is essential for formation of theendolymph,the fluid that surrounds themechanosensitivestereociliaof the sensoryhair cellsthat makehearingpossible.[10]

Rett Syndrome

[edit]

Rett syndrome is a neurological disorder characterized by a mutation in the MeCP2 gene. This mutation results in less MeCP2. KCNJ10 expression is upregulated by the transcription factor MeCP2.[11]MeCP2 deficiency leads to less Kir4.1 channels present on astrocytes in the brain. Since there are fewer channels allowing potassium into the cells, extracellular potassium levels are higher. Higher extracellular potassium leaves neurons more easily excitable which could contribute to the epilepsy observed in many Rett Syndrome patients.[12]

Interactions

[edit]

KCNJ10 has been shown tointeractwithInterleukin 16.[13]
