Summary: Predicted to enable several functions, including ATP-activated inward rectifier potassium channel activity; anion binding activity; and potassium ion binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including regulation of G-protein activated inward rectifier potassium channel activity; renal sodium ion absorption; and tissue homeostasis. Predicted to be part of monoatomic ion channel complex. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in heart and metanephros. Used to study Bartter disease type 2. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Bartter disease type 2. Orthologous to human KCNJ1 (potassium inwardly rectifying channel subfamily J member 1).

WNK1, but not WNK4, is required for high potassium intake-induced stimulation of ROMK activity in convoluted kidney tubules.

ROMK is expressed in the urinary tract at both protein and mRNA levels. Significant enlargement and hypertrophy of the bladder may contribute to hydronephrosis in male ROMK KO mice.
Title: Urinary bladder hypertrophy characteristic of male ROMK Bartter's mice does not occur in female mice.
The results provide evidence that NHERF1 mediates K(+) current activity through acceleration of the surface expression of ROMK1 K(+) channels in M-1 cells.
Title: Na(+)/H(+) exchange regulatory factor 1 is required for ROMK1 K(+) channel expression in the surface membrane of cultured M-1 cortical collecting duct cells.
ENaC and ROMK channel activity in kidney tubules are inhibited in TgWnk4(pseudoaldosteronism type II) mice. Wnk4(PHAII)-induced inhibition of ENaC and ROMK may contribute to the suppression of K(+) secretion in the tubules.

The differential regulation of ROMK, large-conductance Ca(2+)-activated K(+) (BK) channel, BK-alpha and NKCC2 between female and male mice, at least, were partly mediated via WNK1 pathway, which may contribute to the sexual dimorphism of plasma K(+) and blood pressure control.

Suggest that the hyperkalemia in knock-in mouse with the CUL3(Delta403-459) mutation is not caused by reduced ROMK expression in the distal nephron.
Title: ROMK expression remains unaltered in a mouse model of familial hyperkalemic hypertension caused by the CUL3Δ403-459 mutation.
animal knockouts of ROMK1 do not produce Bartter phenotype. ROMK1 is critical in response to high K intake-stimulated K+ secretion in the collecting tubule.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
