ASIC2 - acid sensing ion channel subunit 2 Gene
Also Known as ACCN; BNC1; MDEG; ACCN1; BNaC1; ASIC2a; hBNaC1
Species: Homo sapiens
About ASIC2
This gene has 5 transcripts (splice variants), 233 orthologues and 8 paralogues. Biased expression in brain (RPKM 2.7), endometrium (RPKM 2.6) and 5 other tissues.
Summary
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, 2 hydrophobic transmembrane regions, and a large extracellular loop, which has many cysteine residues with conserved spacing. The member encoded by this gene may play a role in neurotransmission. In addition, a heteromeric association between this member and acid-sensing (proton-gated) ion channel 3 has been observed to co-assemble into proton-gated channels sensitive to gadolinium. Alternative splicing has been observed at this locus and two variants, encoding distinct isoforms, have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2012]
