Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable monoatomic cation channel activity. Predicted to be involved in monoatomic cation homeostasis. Part of sodium channel complex. Orthologous to human UNC80 (unc-80 homolog, NALCN channel complex subunit). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele die within 24 hours of birth, exhibit severe apnea and hippocampal neurons show decreased NALCN-dependent sodium leak current. [provided by MGI curators] |
