FBgn0039081 | Irk2

The gene Inwardly rectifying potassium channel 2 is referred to in FlyBase by the symbol DmelIrk2 (CG4370, FBgn0039081). It is a protein_coding_gene from Dmel. It has 5 annotated transcripts and 5 polypeptides (4 unique). Gene sequence location is 3R:23513617..23519445. Its molecular function is described by: inward rectifier potassium channel activity. It is involved in the biological process described with: potassium ion import across plasma membrane; regulation of membrane potential; regulation of ion transmembrane transport; potassium ion transport; wing disc development. 10 alleles are reported. The phenotypes of these alleles manifest in: adult sense organ; imaginal tissue; chaeta; wing vein L3; mesothoracic bristle. The phenotypic classes of alleles include: phenotype; increased mortality; increased mortality during development; some die during larval stage. Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of high expression to a trough of extremely low expression. Peak expression observed within 18-24 hour embryonic stages, during early larval stages.
