The novel weakly inward rectifying potassium channel Kir7.1 is a low-conductance channel that is predominantly expressed in epithelial cells. Here we describe a partial genomic characterization and the chromosomal assignment of the human Kir7.1 gene (KCNJ13). Analysis of the genomic structure using a PCR-based approach revealed a single 2088-bp intron in the coding region of KCNJ13. PCR analysis of monochromosomal and radiation hybrid panels assigns KCNJ13 to band 2q37 between markers D2S331 and D2S345. In addition, a single nucleotide polymorphism (C524-->T), leading to an exchange of a Thr with an Ile residue at amino acid position 175, was found.
新型弱内向整流钾通道Kir7.1是一种低电导通道,主要在上皮细胞中表达。在此,我们描述了人类Kir7.1基因(KCNJ13)的部分基因组特征及染色体定位。使用基于PCR的方法对基因组结构进行分析,发现在KCNJ13的编码区域有一个2088 bp的单一内含子。对单染色体和辐射杂种细胞系进行PCR分析,将KCNJ13定位于标记D2S331和D2S345之间的2q37带。此外,还发现了一个单核苷酸多态性(C524→T),该多态性导致在氨基酸位置175处苏氨酸与异亮氨酸残基发生交换。
