Genetic and functional linkage of Kir5.1 and Kir2.1 channel subunits
1 Mar 2001
Abstract excerpt
We have identified several cDNAs for the human Kir5.1 subunit of inwardly rectifying K(+) channels. Alternative splicing of exon 3 and the usage of two alternative polyadenylation sites contribute to cDNA diversity. The hKir5.1 gene KCNJ16 is assigned to chromosomal region 17q23.1-24.2, and is separated by only 34 kb from the hKir2.1 gene (KCNJ2). In the brain, Kir5.1 mRNA is restricted to the evolutionary older...
