== 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]]

== 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}.
