Disease relevance of ACCN4

 

High impact information on ACCN4

  • ASIC4 cannot be activated by a drop of extracellular pH in Xenopus oocytes, suggesting association with other subunits or activation by a ligand different from protons [3].
  • ASIC4 is 97% identical between rat and human and shows strongest expression in pituitary gland [3].
