KCNJ15 is a gene that encodes a member of the potassium channel family, specifically belonging to the inwardly rectifying potassium (KIR) channels. These channels are integral membrane proteins that play a critical role in regulating the cell's membrane potential and, consequently, various physiological processes, including the regulation of heart rhythm, muscle contraction, and neuronal excitability. In particular, KCNJ15 is involved in the regulation of potassium ions (K+) across the cell membrane.
