Kir6.2 is a major subunit of the

inward-rectifier potassium ion channel.[5] The gene encoding the channel is called KCNJ11 and mutations in this gene are associated with congenital hyperinsulinism.[6]

Structure

It is an integral membrane protein. The protein, which has a greater tendency to allow potassium to flow into a cell rather than out of a cell, is controlled by

G-proteins and is found associated with the sulfonylurea receptor
(SUR) to constitute the ATP-sensitive K+ channel.

Pathology

Mutations in this gene are a cause of
