Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable monoatomic cation channel activity. Predicted to be involved in monoatomic cation transmembrane transport. Located in basal plasma membrane. Expressed in excretory canal; excretory cell; hypodermis; pharyngeal muscle cell; and pharynx. Used to study MASA syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis-parkinsonism/dementia complex 1; cataract; and congenital stationary night blindness 1C. Is an ortholog of human TRPM1 (transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily M member 1); TRPM3 (transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily M member 3); and TRPM7 (transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily M member 7).
