The renal outer medullary potassium channel (ROMK) is an ATP-dependent potassium channel (Kir1.1) that transports potassium out of cells. It plays an important role in potassium recycling in the thick ascending limb (TAL) and potassium secretion in the cortical collecting duct (CCD) of the nephron. In humans ROMK is encoded by the KCNJ1 (potassium inwardly-rectifying channel subfamily J member 1) gene. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
