Asic3 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables enterobactin transmembrane transporter activity and monoatomic cation channel activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including detection of stimulus involved in sensory perception of pain; response to acidic pH; and response to heat. Located in plasma membrane. Is expressed in cranial ganglion; dorsal root ganglion; and pectoral girdle and thoracic body wall muscle. Orthologous to human ASIC3 (acid sensing ion channel subunit 3).

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Asic3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
