KCNJ16 is a gene that encodes a protein belonging to the potassium channel family, specifically the inwardly rectifying potassium channels. These channels play a critical role in maintaining the resting membrane potential of cells, regulating cellular excitability, and contributing to various physiological processes such as muscle contraction and neurotransmitter release. The KCNJ16 protein is encoded in humans and is known to be involved in the regulation of potassium ion flow across cell membranes.
