ENCODES a protein that exhibits ligand-gated sodium channel activity; pH-gated calcium channel activity; pH-gated sodium channel activity; INVOLVED IN detection of chemical stimulus involved in sensory perception of pain; membrane depolarization; monoatomic ion transmembrane transport; ASSOCIATED WI
Enables enterobactin transmembrane transporter activity and monoatomic cation channel activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including detection of stimulus involved in sensory perception of pain; response to acidic pH; and response to heat. Located in plasma membrane. Is expressed
in cranial ganglion; dorsal root ganglion; and pectoral girdle and thoracic body wall muscle. Orthologous to human ASIC3 (acid sensing ion channel subunit 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]
This 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 acid-sensing (proton-gated) ion channel 2 has been observed as proton-gated channels sensitive to gadolinium. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2012]
