[5] A mutation in KCNJ8 has been associated with cardiac arrest in the early repolarization syndrome.

Potassium channels are present in most mammalian cells, where they participate in a wide range of physiologic responses.

Kir6.1 is an integral membrane protein and inward-rectifier type potassium channel.
