unc-77 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Enables monoatomic cation channel activity. Involved in positive regulation of GABAergic synaptic transmission; positive regulation of cholinergic synaptic transmission; and positive regulation of locomotion. Located in axon. Expressed in cholinergic neurons; nerve ring; pharyngeal neurons; and tail ganglion. Used to study congenital limbs-face contractures-hypotonia-developmental delay syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital limbs-face contractures-hypotonia-developmental delay syndrome. Is an ortholog of human NALCN (sodium leak channel, non-selective).
