Cell Settling, Migration, and Stochastic Cancer Gene Expression Suggest Potassium Membrane Flux May Initiate pH Reversal [PDF]
Attraction of glioblastoma cells to potassium was suspected when glioblastoma cells clustered around dying cells and migrated towards serum (high [K+]) and increased potassium.

KCNJ10 Mutations Display Differential Sensitivity to Heteromerisation with KCNJ16 [PDF]
Background/Aims: Mutations in the inwardly-rectifying K+-channel KCNJ10/Kir4.1 cause autosomal recessive EAST syndrome (epilepsy, ataxia, sensorineural deafness and tubulopathy).

Genetic variants in eleven central and peripheral chemoreceptor genes in sudden infant death syndrome. [PDF]
Background: Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is still one of the leading causes of postnatal infant death in developed countries. The occurrence of SIDS is described by a multifactorial etiology that involves the respiratory control system including ...

Respiratory responses to hypercapnia and hypoxia in mice with genetic ablation of Kir5.1 (Kcnj16)
Inward rectifier (Kir) potassium channels contribute to the control of electrical activity in excitable tissues and their activity is modulated by many biochemical factors, including protons.

Kir5.1 regulates Kir4.2 expression and is a key component of the 50-pS inwardly rectifying potassium channel in basolateral membrane of mouse proximal tubules. [PDF]
Kir5.1 encoded by Kcnj16 is an inwardly-rectifying K+ channel-subunit and it possibly interacts with Kir4.2-subunit encoded by Kcnj15 for assembling a Kir4.2/Kir5.1 heterotetramer in the basolateral membrane of mouse proximal-tubule.

Genetic Inactivation of Kcnj16 Identifies Kir5.1 as an Important Determinant of Neuronal PCO2/pH Sensitivity* [PDF]
The molecular identity of ion channels which confer PCO2/pH sensitivity in the brain is unclear. Heteromeric Kir4.1/Kir5.1 channels are highly sensitive to inhibition by intracellular pH and are widely expressed in several brainstem nuclei involved in ...

Genetic mutation of Kcnj16 identifies Kir5.1‐containing channels as key regulators of acute and chronic pH homeostasis [PDF]
Acute and chronic homeostatic pH regulation is critical for the maintenance of optimal cellular function. Renal mechanisms dominate global pH regulation over longer time frames, and rapid adjustments in ventilation compensate for acute pH and CO2 changes.
