Gene information for ASIC3 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID9311
Official gene symbolASIC3
Full nameamiloride-sensitive cation channel 3
Aliases,ACCN3,DRASIC,SLNAC1,TNaC1,
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, two hydrophobic transmembrane regions, and a large extracellular loop, which has many cysteine residues with conserved spacing. The member encoded by this gene is an acid sensor and may play an important role in the detection of lasting pH changes. In addition, a heteromeric association between this member and ACCN1 has been observed as proton-gated channels sensitive to gadolinium. Alternative splicing of this gene generates three transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. [provided by RefSeq]
