Rabbit Anti-ACCN5/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
ACCN5 is a member of the degenerin/epithelial sodium channel (DEG/ENaC) superfamily. DEG/ENaC superfamily members are amiloride-sensitive sodium channels that contain intracellular N- and SLCtermini, two hydrophobic transmembrane regions and a cysteine-containing extracellular loop. Localizing to the cell membrane, ACCN5 is a multi-pass membrane protein that is expressed in small intestine, jejunum and duodenum. ACCN5 is also expressed at low levels in rectum and testis. Existing as a homo- or heterotetramer, ACCN5 functions as a Na+-selective cation channel that, characteristic of its family, can be inhibited by amiloride.
Function:
ACCN5 belongs to the amiloride-sensitive Na+ channel and degenerin (NaC/DEG) family, members of which have been identified in many animal species ranging from the nematode to human. The amiloride-sensitive Na(+) channel encoded by this gene is primarily expressed in the small intestine, however, its exact function is not known.
Subunit:
Homotrimer or heterotrimer with other ASIC proteins.
Subcellular Location:
Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
Tissue Specificity:
Detected in small intestine, duodenum and jejunum. Detected at very low levels in testis and rectum.
Similarity:
Belongs to the amiloride-sensitive sodium channel (TC 1.A.6) family. ASIC5 subfamily.
