  • Degenerin Ion Channels
  • Degenerins
  • Degenerin Sodium Ion Channels
  • Ion Channels, Degenerin

Scope note

  • A family of mechanosensitive sodium channels found primarily in NEMATODES where they play a role in CELLULAR MECHANOTRANSDUCTION. Degenerin sodium channels are structurally-related to EPITHELIAL SODIUM CHANNELS and are named after the fact that loss of their activity results in cellular degeneration.
