Summary
ASIC2 (acid sensing ion channel subunit 2, HGNC:99) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 17q11.2-q12, encoding Acid-sensing ion channel 2 (Q16515). Forms pH-gated trimeric sodium channels that act as postsynaptic excitatory sensors in the nervous system.
This gene encodes a member of the degenerin/epithelial sodium channel (DEG/ENaC) superfamily. The members of this family are amiloride-sensitive sodium channels that contain intracellular N and C termini, 2 hydrophobic transmembrane regions, and a large extracellular loop, which has many cysteine residues with conserved spacing. The member encoded by this gene may play a role in neurotransmission. In addition, a heteromeric association between this member and acid-sensing (proton-gated) ion channel 3 has been observed to co-assemble into proton-gated channels sensitive to gadolinium. Alternative splicing has been observed at this locus and two variants, encoding distinct isoforms, have been identified.

Function. Forms pH-gated trimeric sodium channels that act as postsynaptic excitatory sensors in the nervous system. Upon extracellular acidification, these channels generate rapid, transient inward currents that fully desensitize. Highly selective for sodium, they are permeable to other cations. By forming heterotrimeric channels with ASIC1, could contribute to synaptic plasticity, learning, and memory. Additionally, as acid sensors at nerve terminals, plays a role in mechanosensation and phototransduction.
Subunit / interactions. Can form homotrimers. Heterotrimer; forms functional heterotrimers producing channel with different properties. Forms heterotrimers with ASIC1; while ASIC1 determines current amplitude, ASIC2 influences the properties of the current. Forms heterotrimers with ASIC3; resulting in channels with distinct properties. Interacts with STOM; STOM regulates the gating of ASIC2-containing channels. Interacts with PICK1; promotes ASIC3 phosphorylation by PKC and activation of ASIC2/ASIC3 heterotrimers.
Subcellular location. Cell membrane.
Tissue specificity. Expressed in brain, cerebellum, trigeminal sensory ganglia and also detected in testis.
Activity regulation. Inhibited by the diuretic drug amiloride. Inhibited by gadolinium ions, the heterotrimer with ASIC3 being more sensitive. Heterotrimer composed of ASIC1 and ASIC2 are inhibited by the snake venom mambalgin-1.
Similarity. Belongs to the amiloride-sensitive sodium channel (TC 1.A.6) family. ASIC2 subfamily.
