sodium channel, non-voltage-gated 1, gamma subunit

Symbol

SCNN1G (may also be known as: None)

Organism

Human

Description

Nonvoltage-gated, amiloride-sensitive, sodium channels control fluid and electrolyte transport across epithelia in many organs. These channels are heteromeric complexes consisting of 3 subunits: alpha, beta, and gamma. This gene encodes the gamma subunit, and mutations in this gene have been associated with Liddle syndrome.
