    Summary
    The protein encoded by this gene is a component of a voltage-independent 'leak' ion-channel complex, in which it performs essential functions, such as serving as a bridge between two other components (sodium leak channel non-selective and UNC79) and as a scaffold for Src kinases. Leak channels play an importnat role in establishment and maintenance of resting membrane potentials in neurons. Mutations in this gene are associated with congenital infantile encephalopathy, intellectual disability and growth issues. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2016]

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.

      Transcript Variant: This variant (2) uses an alternate in-frame splice site in the central coding region, and lacks an alternate in-frame exon in the 3' coding region, compared to variant 1. The resulting isoform (2) is shorter than isoform 1. There are no full-length transcripts representing this variant in human; it is inferred from partial transcript data and from alignments of homologous transcripts.
