Biological function summary
The potassium channel Kir4.1 functions to balance potassium levels in the extracellular space which is important for nerve impulse propagation and muscle contraction. Kir4.1 frequently forms a complex with another potassium channel Kir5.1 (KCNJ16). Together these complexes contribute to fine-tuning the electrochemical gradient impacting various cell types. Its distribution and activity affect neuronal signaling renal function and endolymph generation in the ear.
Pathways
Kir4.1 plays essential roles in neural signaling pathways and renal reabsorption processes. This target interacts with proteins like AQP4 in the brain influencing water transport and ion homeostasis. Its functionality is part of the regulatory mechanisms within the distal convoluted tubule of the kidney impacting water and salt balance. These interactions facilitate proper electrical signaling and osmoregulation in the body.

Function
May be responsible for potassium buffering action of glial cells in the brain (By similarity). Inward rectifier potassium channels are characterized by a greater tendency to allow potassium to flow into the cell rather than out of it (PubMed : 8995301). Their 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 (PubMed : 8995301). The inward rectification is mainly due to the blockage of outward current by internal magnesium. Can be blocked by extracellular barium and cesium (PubMed : 8995301). In the kidney, together with KCNJ16, mediates basolateral K(+) recycling in distal tubules; this process is critical for Na(+) reabsorption at the tubules (PubMed : 24561201).
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the inward rectifier-type potassium channel (TC 1.A.2.1) family. KCNJ10 subfamily.
