Summary
UNC80 (unc-80 subunit of NALCN channel complex, HGNC:26582) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 2q34, encoding Protein unc-80 homolog (Q8N2C7). Auxiliary subunit of the NALCN sodium channel complex, a voltage-gated ion channel responsible for the resting Na(+) permeability that controls neuronal excitability.
The protein encoded by this gene is a component of a voltage-independent ’leak’ ion-channel complex, in which it performs essential functions, such as serving as a bridge between two other components (sodium leak channel non-selective and UNC79) and as a scaffold for Src kinases. Leak channels play an importnat role in establishment and maintenance of resting membrane potentials in neurons. Mutations in this gene are associated with congenital infantile encephalopathy, intellectual disability and growth issues.

UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. Auxiliary subunit of the NALCN sodium channel complex, a voltage-gated ion channel responsible for the resting Na(+) permeability that controls neuronal excitability. Activated by neuropeptides substance P, neurotensin, and extracellular Ca(2+) that regulates neuronal excitability by controlling the sizes of NALCN-dependent sodium-leak current. UNC80 is essential for NALCN sensitivity to extracellular Ca(2+).
Subunit / interactions. NALCN complex consists of NALCN and auxiliary subunits, UNC79, UNC80 and NACL1. These auxiliary subunits are essential for the NALCN complex function. Interacts (via N-terminus half) with NALCN; this interaction facilitates NALCN surface localization. Interacts with UNC79. UNC80 bridges NALCN to UNC79.
Subcellular location. Cell membrane.
Tissue specificity. Moderately expressed in fetal brain, spinal cord, skeletal muscle, thymus, spleen, fetal liver, small intestine, colon, kidney and uterus. Highly expressed in adrenal gland, prostate and testis, as well as in brain and cerebellum.
Post-translational modifications. Phosphorylated on tyrosine residues.
Disease relevance. Hypotonia, infantile, with psychomotor retardation and characteristic facies 2 (IHPRF2) [MIM:616801] An autosomal recessive, neurodegenerative disease characterized by severe truncal hypotonia since birth or early infancy, progressive peripheral spasticity, and profound psychomotor developmental delay. Some patients may have seizures. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Similarity. Belongs to the unc-80 family.
