irk-3 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable inward rectifier potassium channel activity. Involved in short-term memory. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Predicted to be part of monoatomic ion channel complex. Expressed in HSNL; HSNR; and sensory neurons. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Bartter disease type 2; EAST syndrome; and Leber congenital amaurosis 16. Is an ortholog of human KCNJ10 (potassium inwardly rectifying channel subfamily J member 10); KCNJ13 (potassium inwardly rectifying channel subfamily J member 13); and KCNJ15 (potassium inwardly rectifying channel subfamily J member 15).
