GENE - TERM ANNOTATION REPORT

RGD ID:	621476
Species:	Rattus norvegicus
RGD Object:	Gene
Symbol:	Kcnn4
Name:	potassium calcium-activated channel subfamily N member 4

Acc ID:	GO:0046541
Term:	saliva secretion
Definition:	The regulated release of saliva from the salivary glands. In man, the saliva is a turbid and slightly viscous fluid, generally of an alkaline reaction, and is secreted by the parotid, submaxillary, and sublingual glands. In the mouth the saliva is mixed with the secretion from the buccal glands. In man and many animals, saliva is an important digestive fluid on account of the presence of the peculiar enzyme, ptyalin.

Note: Use of the qualifier "multiple interactions" designates that the annotated interaction is comprised of a complex set of reactions and/or regulatory events, possibly involving additional chemicals and/or gene products.
