KCNJ13 (Potassium Voltage-Gated Channel Subfamily J Member 13) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with KCNJ13 include Snowflake Vitreoretinal Degeneration and Leber Congenital Amaurosis 16. Among its related pathways are Collagen chain trimerization and Dopamine-DARPP32 Feedback onto cAMP Pathway. KCNJ13 encodes a member of the inwardly rectifying potassium channel family of proteins. Members of this family form ion channel pores that allow potassium ions to pass into a cell. The encoded protein belongs to a subfamily of low signal channel conductance proteins that have a low dependence on potassium concentration. Mutations in KCNJ13 are associated with snowflake vitreoretinal degeneration. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
