IV. Literature review

[source]
Gene nameCNGA4
Protein nameCyclic nucleotide-gated cation channel alpha-4 (Cyclic nucleotide-gated channel alpha-4) (CNG channel alpha-4) (CNG-4) (CNG4)
Cyclic nucleotide gated channel subunit alpha 4 (cDNA FLJ51400, highly similar to Cyclic nucleotide-gated ol factory channel subunit OCNC2)
Synonyms
DescriptionFUNCTION: Second messenger, cAMP, causes the opening of cation-selective cyclic nucleotide-gated (CNG) channels and depolarization of the neuron (olfactory sensory neurons, OSNs). CNGA4 is the modulatory subunit of this channel which is known to play a central role in the transduction of odorant signals and subsequent adaptation. By accelerating the calcium-mediated negative feedback in olfactory signaling it allows rapid adaptation to odor stimulation and extends its range of odor detection (By similarity). .
