Asic2 - acid sensing ion channel subunit 2 Gene

Also Known as MDEG; Accn1; BNC1k; BNaC1; MDEG1; MDEG2

Species: Rattus norvegicus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 25364

Summary

Enables voltage-gated Sodium Channel activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to acidic pH; positive regulation of cation channel activity; and sodium ion transport. Predicted to be located in dendritic spine and neuronal cell body. Predicted to be integral component of membrane. Predicted to be integral component of plasma membrane. Orthologous to human ASIC2 (acid sensing ion channel subunit 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
