G protein-activated inward rectifier potassium channel 2 (GIRK2) is localized on the plasma membrane. It is expressed majorly in the brain and to some extent in the pancreas. The GIRK2 gene is mapped to human chromosome 21q22.13. Structurally, GIRK2 exists as a tetramer and comprises a transmembrane domain and a cytoplasmic domain.
GST fusion protein with sequence corresponding to residues 374-414 of mouse KIR3.2 (GIRK2). Sequence homology is 40/41, 39/41, and 37/41 residues identical inrat, golden hamster, and human, respectively.
Anwendung
Anti-Potassium Channel KIR3.2 (GIRK2) antibody produced in rabbit has been used in:
G protein-activated inward rectifier potassium channel 2,(GIRK2) plays a key role in γ-aminobutyric acid-ergic (GABAergic), dopaminergic, cholinergic, and glutamatergic synapses. It also regulates neuronal excitability. GIRK2 through G protein-coupled receptor stimulation modulates neuronal circuit activity and heart rate in cardiac cells. Deletion of the GIRK2 gene in mice may lead to an anxiety-like phenotype and a depression-resistant behavior.

Advances in the field of pharmacogenomics have resulted in the discovery of some important single-nucleotide polymorphisms which are found to be associated with opioid dose variability. This, to a large extent, explains genetic variability in the analgesic dose of opioids.

Event related oscillations (EROs) are heritable measures of neurocognitive function that have served as useful phenotype in genetic research. A recent family genome-wide association study (GWAS) by the Collaborative Study on the Genetics of Alcoholism (COGA) found that theta EROs

Targeting dorsal raphe 5-HT1A receptors, which are coupled to G-protein inwardly rectifying potassium (GIRK) channels, has revealed their contribution not only to behavioral and functional aspects of depression but also to the clinical response to its treatment. Although GIRK channels
G protein-gated K(+) channels (Kir3.1-Kir3.4) control electrical excitability in many different cells. Among their functions relevant to human physiology and disease, they regulate the heart rate and govern a wide range of neuronal activities. Here, we present the first crystal

Many inhibitory neurotransmitters in the brain activate Kir3 channels by stimulating pertussis toxin (PTX)-sensitive G-protein-coupled receptors. Here, we investigated the regulation of native muscarinic receptors and Kir3 channels expressed in NGF-differentiated PC12 cells, which are similar to sympathetic neurons. Quantitative
