TargetCategoryDefinition
protein bindingmolecular functionBinding to a protein. [GOC:go_curators]
G-protein activated inward rectifier potassium channel activitymolecular functionEnables the transmembrane transfer of a potassium ion by an inwardly-rectifying voltage-gated channel, where the inward rectification is due to a voltage-dependent block of the channel pore by a G protein. An inwardly rectifying current-voltage relation is one where at any given driving force the inward flow of K+ ions exceeds the outward flow for the opposite driving force. [GOC:cb, GOC:mah]
voltage-gated potassium channel activity involved in atrial cardiac muscle cell action potential repolarizationmolecular functionEnables the transmembrane transfer of a potassium ion by a voltage-gated channel through the plasma membrane of an atrial cardiomyocyte contributing to the repolarization phase of an action potential. A voltage-gated channel is a channel whose open state is dependent on the voltage across the membrane in which it is embedded. [GOC:BHF, GOC:mtg_cardiac_conduct_nov11]
voltage-gated potassium channel activity involved in ventricular cardiac muscle cell action potential repolarizationmolecular functionEnables the transmembrane transfer of a potassium ion by a voltage-gated channel through the plasma membrane of a ventricular cardiomyocyte contributing to the repolarization phase of an action potential. A voltage-gated channel is a channel whose open state is dependent on the voltage across the membrane in which it is embedded.

TargetCategoryDefinition
I(KACh) inward rectifier potassium channel complexcellular componentAn inward rectifier potassium channel complex expressed in cardiac muscle, specifically the sinoatrial node and atria, where it controls the heart rate, via regulation by G protein-coupled receptor signaling. In mammals it is composed of GIRK1 (or Kir3.1) and GIRK4 (or Kir3.4) subunits. [GOC:ame, PMID:9765280]
voltage-gated potassium channel complexcellular componentA protein complex that forms a transmembrane channel through which potassium ions may cross a cell membrane in response to changes in membrane potential. [GOC:mah]
