gene: asic-2 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable ligand-gated sodium channel activity. Predicted to be involved in sodium ion transmembrane transport. Predicted to be located in membrane. Expressed in ciliated neurons and sensory neurons. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in bronchiectasis (multiple); neuroblastoma; and renal tubular transport disease (multiple). Is an ortholog of human SCNN1A (sodium channel epithelial 1 subunit alpha); SCNN1B (sodium channel epithelial 1 subunit beta); and SCNN1G (sodium channel epithelial 1 subunit gamma).
