Other Names | Acid-sensing ion channel 1, ASIC1, Amiloride-sensitive cation channel 2, neuronal, Brain sodium channel 2, BNaC2, ASIC1, ACCN2, BNAC2 |
Target/Specificity | The synthetic peptide sequence used to generate the antibody AP9270b was selected from the C-term region of human ACCN2. A 10 to 100 fold molar excess to antibody is recommended. Precise conditions should be optimized for a particular assay. |
Format | Peptides are lyophilized in a solid powder format. Peptides can be reconstituted in solution using the appropriate buffer as needed. |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 6 months. For long term storage store at -20°C. |
Precautions | This product is for research use only. Not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | ASIC1 (HGNC:100) |

Function | Forms voltage-independent, pH-gated trimeric sodium channels that act as postsynaptic excitatory receptors in the nervous system, playing a crucial role in regulating synaptic plasticity, learning, and memory (PubMed:21036899, PubMed:32915133, PubMed:34319232). Upon extracellular pH drop this channel elicits transient, fast activating, and completely desensitizing inward currents (PubMed:21036899). Displays high selectivity for sodium ions but can also permit the permeation of other cations (PubMed:21036899). Regulates more or less directly intracellular calcium concentration and CaMKII phosphorylation, and thereby the density of dendritic spines. Modulates neuronal activity in the circuits underlying innate fear (By similarity). |

Background
ACCN2 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 is expressed in most if not all brain neurons, and it may be an ion channel subunit; however, its function as an ion channel remains unknown.
