Function
- Na+ permeable non-voltage-sensitive ion channel gamma subunit
- phosphorylated on Ser & Thr
- ubiquitination targets individual subnits for endocytosis & proteasome-mediated degradation (putative)
- interacts with the WW domains of NEDD4, NEDD4L, WWP1 & WWP2
Structure
- belongs to the amiloride-sensitive Na+ channel family
Compartment
- apical cell membrane; multi-pass membrane protein
- apical membrane of epithelial cells
Pathology
- defects in SCNN1G are a cause of Liddle syndrome
