ASIC5, ACCN5, HINAC, Acid-sensing ion channel 5, Amiloride-sensitive cation channel 5, Human intestine Na(+) channel

This gene belongs to the amiloride-sensitive Na+ channel and degenerin (NaC/DEG) family, members of which have been identified in many animal species ranging from the nematode to human. The amiloride-sensitive Na(+) channel encoded by this gene is primarily expressed in the small intestine, however, its exact function is not known.
