钾内向整流通道亚家族 J 成员 10（KCNJ10）基因

该基因编码内向整流型钾通道家族的一个成员，其特征是更倾向于让钾流入而不是流出细胞。编码的蛋白质可能与另一种钾通道蛋白形成异二聚体，并可能负责大脑中神经胶质细胞的钾缓冲作用。该基因的突变与常见特发性全身性癫痫综合征的癫痫发作易感性有关。[RefSeq 提供，2008 年 7 月]

This gene encodes a member of the inward rectifier-type Potassium Channel family, characterized by having a greater tendency to allow potassium to flow into, rather than out of, a cell. The encoded protein 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. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
