Automated Description
Predicted to enable ligand-gated sodium channel activity. Involved in locomotion and neuron remodeling. Located in neuronal cell body. Is expressed in neurons. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Liddle syndrome; bronchiectasis 1; bronchiectasis 3; and pseudohypoaldosteronism. Orthologous to human SCNN1B (sodium channel epithelial 1 subunit beta); SCNN1D (sodium channel epithelial 1 subunit delta); and SCNN1G (sodium channel epithelial 1 subunit gamma).
WB Description
unc-8 encodes an amiloride-sensitive DEG/ENaC cation-selective channel subunit orthologous to human ENaCB (OMIM:600760, associated with Liddle syndrome, an autosomal dominant form of hypertension); UNC-8 is predicted to function as part of a mechanically gated channel that responds to stretch, and is required for modulating the sinusoidal body wave that is characteristic of C. elegans locomotion; unc-8 interacts genetically with unc-1 and unc-24, which encode stomatin-like proteins, and with mec-6, which encodes a paraoxonase; UNC-8 is expressed in motor neurons, sensory neurons, and interneurons in the nerve ring; UNC-8 may form a channel with the degenerin DEL-1, with which it is coexpressed in ventral cord motor neurons.
