Description

cyclic nucleotide gated channel alpha 2

Gene Summary

This gene encodes a transmembrane protein that is the main subunit of the nucleotide-gated olfactory ion channel, which plays a key role in transducing chemosensory signal resulting from hydrogen sulphide exposure. Signaling pathways mediated by this gene operate in the cilia of type B cells. Knock out of this gene affects development of the olfactory epithelium and olfactory bulb.
