Protein Details: Acid-sensing ion channel 2
Protein ID
ICDB_Pro_1045
Protein Name
Acid-sensing ion channel 2
Gene Name
Asic2; Accn1; Bnac1; Mdeg
Organism
Rattus norvegicus (Rat)
Length
512 amino acids
AlphaFoldDB
AF-Q62962-F1-model_v4.pdb
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(+). Activation by an extracellular pH drop is followed by a rapid pH-independent inactivation. Heteromeric channel assembly seems to modulate channel properties.

Disease
Location
Expressed in sciatic nerve and dorsal root ganglion (DRG) (at protein level). Both isoforms display the same expression pattern except in DRG where isoform 2 is more abundantly expressed. Widely distributed throughout the brain. Widely distributed throughout the brain. Widely distributed throughout the brain. Highly expressed in the main olfactory bulb; neo- and allo-cortical regions; hippocampal formation; habenula; basolateral amygdaloid nuclei; and cerebellum. In the olfactory system; expressed in the glomerular cell layer; the internal granular layer; and the mitral and internal plexiform cell layers. Within the glomerular layer; restricted to the periglomerular cells. In the neocortex; strongly expressed in the large pyramidal neurons in all cortical layers as well as in the oligo-; astro-; or micro-glia cells. In the hippocampal formation; expressed in dentate granule cells and hilar neurons; as well as in pyramidal cells of CA1-CA3 subfields. Expressed in stratum oriens and radiatum of all subfields. Within the thalamus; expressed moderately in the medial and lateral habenula. In the cerebellar cortex expressed in Purkinje cells and granule cells. Expressed at low levels in choroid plexus
