Description
Product Characteristics: ACCN1 is a member of the degenerin/epithelial sodium channel (DEG/ENaC) superfamily. ACCN1 may play a role in neurotransmission. In addition, a heteromeric association between ACCN1 and ACCN3 (variant 1) has been observed to co-assemble into proton-gated channels sensitive to gadolinium.
Target Information: The protein encoded by this gene is a zinc finger protein present in the basal cell layer of the epidermis and in hair follicles. It is also found in abundance in the germ cells of testis and ovary. This protein is thought to play a regulatory role in keratinocyte proliferation and it may also be a regulator for rRNA transcription. This gene seems to have multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants, but their full-length nature is not known yet. There seems to be evidence of multiple polyadenylation sites for this gene.
