MeSH definition : A family of mechanosensitive sodium channels found primarily in NEMATODES where they
play a role in CELLULAR MECHANOTRANSDUCTION. Degenerin sodium channels are structurally-related
to EPITHELIAL SODIUM CHANNELS and are named after the fact that loss of their activity
results in cellular degeneration.;
MeSH synonym : sodium channels, degenerin; degenerins; degenerin ion channels; ion channels, degenerin; degenerin sodium ion channels; Degenerin;
