25. + channel (dGNaC1) that is present in gonads and in the early embryo of Drosophila. Expressed in Xenopus oocytes, dGNaC1 has a constitutive channel activity. Because of the localization and the electrophysiological properties, the authors suggest that dGNaC1 might be involved in gametogenesis and embryonic development.
26. + channel that is further activated by mutations causing neurodegeneration with the C. elegans degenerins. The authors propose an involvement of RPK in embryonal development. PPK is a silent channel present in multiple dendritic neurones: it is therefore proposed to be involved in proprioception.

A modulatory subunit of acid sensing ion channels in brain and dorsal root ganglion cells. of special interest J Biol Chem. 272:1997;29778-29783 This paper reports the cloning of MDEG2, a splice variant of ASIC2 (MDEG) that is inactive when expressed alone. The authors show that the ASIC2b mRNA apparently colocalizes with ASIC2a (MDEG) in brain and with ASIC3 (DRASIC) in sensory neurones. Coexpression of ASIC2b (MDEG2) with ASIC2a (MDEG) or ASIC3 (DRASIC) causes important changes in the selectivity or kinetics of the channel indicating that heteromultimeric channels are formed.
42. + channel from sensory neurones (DRASIC) that has a biphasic desensitization kinetic: a transient current is followed by a sustained current. Because of the sustained component, DRASIC is proposed to be involved in the perception of pain caused by acids: however, the DRASIC subunit requires pH values below 4 for activation of the sustained current.
