Anti-ACCN1/ASIC2 Antibody Picoband® (Biotine Conjugate)

Amiloride-sensitive cation channel 1, neuronal, also known as ASIC2, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ACCN1 gene. This gene encodes a member of the degenerin/epithelial sodium channel (DEG/ENaC) superfamily. The members of this family are amiloride-sensitive sodium channels that contain intracellular N and C termini, 2 hydrophobic transmembrane regions, and a large extracellular loop, which has many cysteine residues with conserved spacing. The member encoded by this gene may play a role in neurotransmission. In addition, a heteromeric association between this member and acid-sensing (proton-gated) ion channel 3 has been observed to co-assemble into proton-gated channels sensitive to gadolinium. Alternative splicing has been observed at this locus and two variants, encoding distinct isoforms, have been identified.

A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the N-terminus of human ACCN1, different from the related mouse and rat sequences by one amino acid.

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.
