Kir2.1 (NP000882.1), encoded in KCNJ2(NM000891.2), is the potassium, inwardly rectifying channel, subfamily J member 2a.
It is a 427 amino acid, two-pass, transmembrane protein, with both termini located in the cytoplasm. Kir2.1 homotetramers form a K+ channel that contributes to the potassium efflux that is critical for the repolarization of excitable cell membranes after an action potential, the so-called IK current. Kir2.1 is negatively regulated (at membrane potentials positive to its equilibrium potential) by binding of spermine, spermidine and Mg2+(Yang et al. 1995), and by phosphorylation of Tyr242.
It is positively regulated(at potentials negative to its equilibrium potential) by binding of phosphoinositol bisphosphate (PIP2); three PIP2 binding sites have been identified in the long C terminus of the protein, at amino acids 175–206,207–246 and 324–365 (Soom et al. 2001). Kir2.1 is critical for controlling the membrane voltage of cardiac myocytes; it is the effect of mutations on the QT interval and the U-wave that are thought to cause the cardiac arrhythmia.
This symptom is the source of the synonym LQT for long Q-T interval (Hedley et al. 2009). Importantly, however, Kir2.1 also contributes to the resting potential (Vmem) of undifferentiated embryonic cells, including those found in Xenopus embryos. Its effect on cellular functions go way beyond propagation of action potentials (Jongsma &Wilders, 2001).
