Predicted to enable ligand-gated sodium channel activity. Involved in defecation and ultradian rhythm. Located in nuclear membrane and plasma membrane. Is an ortholog of human ASIC1 (acid sensing ion channel subunit 1); ASIC2 (acid sensing ion channel subunit 2); and ASIC3 (acid sensing ion channel subunit 3).
Is affected by several genes including ints-4; flr-4; and ilc-17.1 based on microarray and RNA-seq studies. Is predicted to encode a protein with the following domains: ShK domain-like and ShKT domain.
Predicted to enable protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in defecation. Located in plasma membrane. Expressed in AUAL; AUAR; intestine; isthmus; and neurons.
