Gene information for ASIC1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID41
Official gene symbolASIC1
Full nameamiloride-sensitive cation channel 2, neuronal
Aliases,ACCN2,ASIC,BNaC2,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the degenerin/epithelial sodium channel (DEG/ENaC) superfamily. The members of this family are amiloride-sensitive sodium channels that contain intracellular N and C termini, 2 hydrophobic transmembrane regions, and a large extracellular loop, which has many cysteine residues with conserved spacing. The member encoded by this gene is expressed in most if not all brain neurons, and it may be an ion channel subunit; however, its function as an ion channel remains unknown. Alternative splicing of this gene generates 2 transcript products. [provided by RefSeq]
