Facts about Inward rectifier potassium channel 13.
The inward rectification is mainly due to the blockage of outward current by internal magnesium. KCNJ13 has a very low single channel conductance, low sensitivity to block by external barium and cesium, and no dependence of its inward rectification properties on the inner blocking particle magnesium.
