Anti-ASIC3 (Amiloride-sensitive cation channel 3, Neuronal amiloride-sensitive cation channel 3, Tes

ASIC3 (Acid-Sensing Ion Channel3), also known as TESTIS SODIUM CHANNEL 1(TNAC1) or DORSAL ROOT ACID-SENSING ION CHANNEL(DRASIC), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ASIC3 gene. ASIC3 belongs to a family of acid-sensing channel proteins that are structurally related to epithelial sodium channel proteins and support acid-activated membrane currents. By radiation hybrid analysis, de Weille et al. (1998) mapped the ACCN3 gene to chromosome 7q35. De Weille et al. (1998) found that human ASIC3 supported an H (+)-gated cation current in COS cells with kinetics similar to those of rat Asic3. Babinski et al. (1999) expressed homomeric human ASIC3 channels in Xenopus oocytes and found that rapid reduction in extracellular pH resulted in a biphasic response characterized by a fast and rapidly desensitizing current followed by a slow and sustained current that returned to baseline only on return to physiologic pH.
