| UniProt functional annotation for Q96D96 | |||
| UniProt code: Q96D96. |
| Organism: | Homo sapiens (Human). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo. | |
| Function: | Mediates the voltage-dependent proton permeability of excitable membranes. Forms a proton-selective channel through which protons may pass in accordance with their electrochemical gradient. Proton efflux, accompanied by membrane depolarization, facilitates acute production of reactive oxygen species in phagocytosis. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16554753, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20037153, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22020278}. | |
| Activity regulation: | The dimers display cooperative channel gating (By similarity). The channel activity is inhibited by zinc ions. {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16554753, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22020278}. | |
| Subunit: | Homodimer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20147290}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Note=Detected mainly at intracellular membranes upon overexpression in HeLa cells (PuMed:20147290), but not in other cell types. | |
| Tissue specificity: | Enriched in immune tissues, such as lymph nodes, B- lymphocytes, monocytes and spleen. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16554753}. | |
| Domain: | The segment S4 is probably the voltage-sensor and is characterized by a series of positively charged amino acids at every third position. Unlike other voltage-gated ion channels it lacks the pore domain. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20147290}. | |
| Domain: | The C-terminal coiled coil region mediates homodimerization and cooperative channel gating. It is essential for normal subcellular localization. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20147290}. | |
| Ptm: | Phosphorylation may enhance channel gating. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20037153}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the hydrogen channel family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
| Sequence caution: | Sequence=AAQ89413.1; Type=Frameshift; Evidence={ECO:0000305}; | |
