Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptiontmc-1 encodes a multipass transmembrane protein; TMC-1 functions specifically as a sodium-sensitive channel that is required for salt taste chemosensation in the ASH neurons and for high salt avoidance behavior; when expressed in other neurons, TMC-1 is sufficient to generate a salt response in vivo, and when expressed in mammalian cells, TMC-1 generates a predominantly cationic current activated by high extracellular sodium but not other cations or uncharged small molecules; tmc-1 is expressed in sensory neurons, including the ASH, ADF, ASE, ADL, AQR, PQR, URX, and PHA neurons and also at lower frequency in AWC, AFD, and BAG; in ASH, TMC-1 localizes to the cell soma as well as the sensory cilium.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00041946

Automated_descriptionEnables sodium channel activity. Involved in detection of stimulus involved in sensory perception; monoatomic ion transmembrane transport; and sensory perception of chemical stimulus. Located in neuronal cell body; non-motile cilium; and plasma membrane. Expressed in body wall musculature; neurons; and in male. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness 36; autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 7; and sensorineural hearing loss. Is an ortholog of human TMC3 (transmembrane channel like 3).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

Reference (19)
RemarkMap position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.CGC_data_submission
