ACCN1

Amiloride-sensitive cation channel 1, neuronal is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ACCN1 gene. It is also known as an acid-sensing ion channel, ASIC2.

Function

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 ACCN3 (variant 1) 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.

    Ye Kaun Aayaa

    by: Lata Mangeshkar

    Ye Kaun Aayaa, Roshan Ho Gayee
    Mahafeel Kis Ke Naam Se
    Mere Ghar Mein Jaise Sooraj Nikalaa Hain Shaam Se
    Yaade Hain Kuchh Aayee See, Yaa Kirane Laharaayeesee
    Dil Mein Soye Geeto Ne, Lee Hain Fir Angadaeesee
    Aramaanon Kee Madiraa Chhalakee, Aakhiyon Ke Jaam Se
    Aahat Pe Halakee Halakee, Chhaatee Dhadake Paayal Kee
    Har Goree Se Naa Musakaa, Ye Lahare Poochhe Aachal Kee
    Choopake Choopake Raadhaa Koee Poochhe Apane Shaam Se
    Kyaa Kaheeye Is Aane Ko, Aayaa Hain Tarasaane Ko
    Dekhaa Us Ne Has Has Ke, Har Apane Begaane Ko
    Lekin Kitanaa Bepawraa Hai, Mere Hee Salaam Se
