| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 9.1.0) Predicted to enable monoatomic cation channel activity. Predicted to be involved in monoatomic cation homeostasis; regulation of neuronal action potential; and sodium ion transmembrane transport. Part of sodium channel complex. Orthologous to human UNC80 (unc-80 subunit of NALCN channel complex). 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] |
