Genetic variants in components of the NALCN–UNC80–UNC79 ion channel complex cause a broad clinical phenotype (NALCN channelopathies). Find more information on our website.
NALCN is a conserved cation channel, which conducts a permanent sodium leak current and regulates resting membrane potential and neuronal excitability. It is part of a large ion channel complex, the “NALCN channelosome”, consisting of multiple proteins including UNC80 and UNC79.
