| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables ligand-gated sodium channel activity and monoatomic ion-gated channel activity. Involved in regulation of postsynapse assembly. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including positive regulation of synapse assembly; regulation of systemic arterial blood pressure by aortic arch baroreceptor feedback; and sensory perception of mechanical stimulus. Located in dendritic spine; neuronal cell body; and plasma membrane. Is active in postsynaptic density membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system. Orthologous to human ASIC2 (acid sensing ion channel subunit 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit decreased mechanoreceptor and spiral ganglion electrophysiology and decreased pressure-induced blood vessel constriction. Mice homozygous for a different knock-out allele exhibit retinal degeneration and abnormal eye electrophysiology. [provided by MGI curators] |
