|
| Function |
Cation channel with high affinity for sodium, which is gated by extracellular protons and inhibited by the diuretic amiloride. Also permeable for Li(+) and K(+). Generates a biphasic current with a fast inactivating and a slow sustained phase. Heteromeric channel assembly seems to modulate.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Cell membrane {ECO:0000250}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000250}. Note=Localized at the plasma membrane of neurons, in the soma and punctated peripheral processes. {ECO:0000250}.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Brain and spinal cord. Isoform 1 is also detected in testis, liver, colon and ovary. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10842183, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8631835}.
