ATP-sensitive inward rectifier potassium channel 11 (KCNJ11) is an inward rectifier potassium channel, favouring potassium flow into the cell rather than out of it. KCNJ11 can complex with ATP-binding cassette sub-family member 9 (ABCC9) to form cardiac and smooth muscle-type K+(ATP) channels. KCNJ11 forms the channel pore while ABCC9 is required for activation and regulation (Babenko et al. 1998, Tammaro & Ashcroft 2007).
