ASIC1, Official Symbol ASIC1provided by HGNC Official Full Name acid sensing ion channel subunit 1provided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:100 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000110881 MIM:602866; AllianceGenome:HGNC:100 Gene type protein coding RefSeq status REVIEWED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo Also known as ASIC; ACCN2; BNaC2 Summary This gene encodes a member of the acid-sensing ion channel (ASIC) family of proteins, which are part of the degenerin/epithelial sodium channel (DEG/ENaC) superfamily. Members of the ASIC family are sensitive to amiloride and function in neurotransmission. The encoded proteins function in learning, pain transduction, touch sensation, and development of memory and fear. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described.
