The MET complex is composed of symmetric dimeric MET channels, each channel comprising two copies of pore-forming ion-conducting transmembrane TMC subunits and auxiliary proteins including the transmembrane inner ear protein/tmie, the calcium-binding protein/calm-1 and arrestin domain protein arrd-6 (PubMed:36224384). Sodium ions are the most permeable, whereas calcium and potassium have lower indices (PubMed:23364694). Sodium-sensor ion channel that acts specifically in salt taste chemosensation. Required for salt-evoked neuronal activity and behavioral avoidance of high concentrations of NaCl.
