======= UNC79 ======= == Gene Information == * **Official Symbol**: UNC79 * **Official Name**: unc-79 homolog, NALCN channel complex subunit * **Aliases and Previous Symbols**: N/A * **Entrez ID**: [[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/?term=57578|57578]] * **UniProt**: [[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/Q9P2D8|Q9P2D8]] * **Interactions**: [[https://thebiogrid.org/search.php?search=UNC79&organism=9606|BioGRID]] * **PubMed articles**: [[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=gene%20UNC79|Open PubMed]] * **OMIM**: [[https://omim.org/entry/616884|Open OMIM]] == Function Summary == * **Entrez Summary**: The NALCN channel is responsible for Na(+) leak currents. The protein encoded by this gene, along with UNC80, is an accessory subunit of the NALCN channel that contributes to the Ca(2+) sensitivity of the channel. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2016]. * **UniProt Summary**: Component of the NALCN sodium channel complex, a cation channel activated either by neuropeptides substance P or neurotensin that controls neuronal excitability. {ECO:0000250}. No Pfam Domain information is available for this gene. |behavioral response to ethanol| |multicellular organism growth| |response to ethanol| |adult behavior| |response to alcohol| |response to antibiotic| |developmental growth| |growth| |response to toxic substance| |behavior| |ion transmembrane transport| |response to drug| |transmembrane transport| |ion transport| |response to oxygen-containing compound| \\ === CRISPR Data === ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp438|NN-Diethyl-meta-toluamide 500μM R08 exp438]]|-2.15| |[[:results:exp437|Ethanol 0.003 R08 exp437]]|-2| |[[:results:exp538|ZLN024 50μM R08 exp538]]|-1.71| |[[:results:exp290|LLY-283 2.6μM R06 exp290]]|2.32| No correlation found to any other genes in chemogenomics.
