SCNN1D
protein-codingsodium channel epithelial 1 subunit delta, the group of Sodium channels epithelial
Gene summary
Contributes to sodium channel activity. Involved in cellular response to acidic pH; intracellular sodium ion homeostasis; and sodium ion import across plasma membrane. Located in actin cytoskeleton and membrane. Part of sodium channel complex. Is active in apical plasma membrane. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

ClinVar Variants & Pathogenicity by Type
Statistics based on transcript NM_001130413.4. Only rare variants are included.
We include only reliable ClinVar variants with their consequences to MANE Select, MANE Plus Clinical transcripts, or transcripts with TSL equal to 1. Click a count to filter the variants table below.
Slight differences between displayed counts and ClinVar may occur due to a different transcript/consequence chosen by our variant effect predictor, or because we classify Benign/Likely benign as Likely benign and Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic as Likely pathogenic.

- Function
- FUNCTION: Sodium permeable non-voltage-sensitive ion channel inhibited by the diuretic amiloride. Mediates the electrodiffusion of the luminal sodium (and water, which follows osmotically) through the apical membrane of epithelial cells. Controls the reabsorption of sodium in kidney, colon, lung and sweat glands. Also plays a role in taste perception. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16423824, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7499195}.;
