Potassium inwardly-rectifying channel, subfamily J, member 5
The KCNJ5 gene encodes a ubiquitus potassium channel, which has a greater tendency to allow potassium to flow into a cell rather than out of a cell. Of crucial physiological importance is its presence in the zona glomerulosa of the adrenal cortex and in heart muscel cells. In the adrenal cortex, it controls aldosterone secretion in relation to the extracellular potassium concentration. In the heart it is involved in the pacemaker function. Somatic mutations are frequently found in aldosterone secreting tumors. Germline mutations may cause primary hyperaldosteronism type 3 and long QT syndrome type 13.
