Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable monoatomic cation channel activity. Predicted to be involved in metal ion transport and monoatomic cation transmembrane transport. Located in basal plasma membrane. Expressed in excretory canal; excretory cell; hypodermis; pharyngeal muscle cell; and pharynx. Used to study MASA syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis-parkinsonism/dementia complex 1; cataract; and congenital stationary night blindness 1C. Is an ortholog of human TRPM1 (transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily M member 1); TRPM3 (transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily M member 3); and TRPM7 (transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily M member 7).
