Scientific Background: Acid sensing ion channel ASIC1, also designated ACCN2, BNAC2 and ASIC1a, is present in brain as a 4.3-kb transcript with localization to rat dorsal root ganglia. Insitu hybridization of rat brain suggests that ASIC1 is most abundant in the main olfactory bulb, cerebral cortex, hippocampal formation, habenula, basolateral amygdaloid nuclei and cerebellum. ASIC1 and H+-gated currents may contribute to the development of fear and anxiety.
