Disease relevance of KCNJ10

 

High impact information on KCNJ10

  • Identification of a heteromeric interaction that influences the rectification, gating, and pH sensitivity of Kir4.1/Kir5.1 potassium channels [3].
  • As similar results were obtained for the N terminus of another Kir channel subfamily member, Kir4.1, which could functionally substitute for the Kir2.1 N terminus, we propose a more general role of the identified N-terminal domains for post-Golgi trafficking of Kir channels [4].
  • Molecular analysis of KCNJ10 on 1q as a candidate gene for Type 2 diabetes in Pima Indians [5].
  • KCNJ10 consists of two exons, spans approximately 33 kb, and we identified eight single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), including one (SNP2) in the coding region leading to a Glu359Lys substitution [5].
  • The KCNJ10 gene is located within a region on chromosome 1q linked to type 2 diabetes in the Pima Indians and six other populations [5].
 

Biological context of KCNJ10

 

Anatomical context of KCNJ10

  • 1. Furthermore, we found that Kir4.1 as well as SAP97 distributed not diffusely but clustered in retinal glial cells [8].
  • Expression of the Kir1.2 polypeptide in Xenopus oocytes resulted in the synthesis of a K+-selective channel that exhibited an inwardly rectifying current-voltage relationship and was inhibited by external Ba2+ and Cs+ [7].
  • In contrast, when co-expressed with PSD-95, prominent clustering of Kir4.1 in the cell membrane occurred [8].
  • We examined the effects of PSD-95 on the distribution and function of Kir4.1 in a mammalian cell line [8].
  • With immunohistochemical analyses, Kir4.1 was found to be expressed in gastric parietal cells and localized specifically at their apical membrane [9].
 

Associations of KCNJ10 with chemical compounds

  • Significant inhibition of glutamate clearance in astrocytes with knock-down of Kir4.1 highlights the role of membrane hyperpolarization in this process [10].
  • The increase in the expression of intermediate filaments, the decrease of the whole-cell K(+) currents and of the Kir4.1 immunolabeling, and the increase in the Ca(2+) responsiveness of Müller cells were also observed in attached retinal areas surrounding the focal detachment [11].
 

Co-localisations of KCNJ10

 

Regulatory relationships of KCNJ10

 

Other interactions of KCNJ10

  • Mutation screening of the three candidate genes CRABP2, GNAT2, and KCNJ10 revealed no disease-associated mutations [14].
  • Cloning and characterization of two K+ inward rectifier (Kir) 1.1 potassium channel homologs from human kidney (Kir1.2 and Kir1.3) [7].
  • K+ channels in the apical membrane of the parietal cell are implicated in the recycling of K+ and, to date, three potential K+ channels (KCNQ1, Kir2.1 and Kir4.1) have been identified [15].
  • Nortriptyline (3-300 muM) reversibly inhibited Kir4.1 currents in a concentration-dependent manner, whereas it marginally affected neuronal Kir2.1 currents [16].
  • 1. In normal brain tissue, AQP4 and Kir4.1 were detected around the microvessels [13].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of KCNJ10

  • Western blot analysis using specific antibodies revealed that Kir4.1 and Kir5.1 proteins were expressed in kidney and brain, but co-immunoprecipitated only from kidney [17].
  • We examined the effects of nortriptyline, a tricyclic antidepressant (TCA), on Kir4.1 channel currents heterologously expressed in HEK293T cells, using a whole-cell patch-clamp technique [16].
  • RT-PCR revealed molecular identities of mRNAs for the functional ionic currents, including Kir1.2 for IKir, Kv1.1, Kv1.6, and Kv2.1 for IKDR, and Nav1.5 for INa.TTXR [18].
  • Using real-time PCR, we found that the mRNAs for AQP4 and Kir4.1 are downregulated in retinas that were obtained from patients with proliferative retinopathy compared with post-mortem controls [19].
