| Short Name | UNC80_N |
| description | UNC80 is a protein associated with the NALCN sodium channel complex, and is required for the activation of this channel by the neuropeptide substance P. NALCN activation is G-protein-independent, but requires Src kinases. NUNC80 binds Src kinases and recruits Src into the channel complex []. UNC80 is required for the proper localisation of C. elegans NCA-1 and NCA-2, the homologues of the vertebrate cation leak channel NALCN []. NCA-1 and UNC-80 regulate neuronal activity in C. elegans [].This entry represents the N-terminal domain of UNC80. |
