Function
CNGC1_ARATH Acts as a cyclic nucleotide-gated ion channel. Can be activated by cyclic AMP which leads to an opening of the cation channel. May be responsible for cAMP-induced calcium entry in cells and thus should be involved in the calcium signal transduction. Could transport K(+), Na(+) and Pb(2+).[1] [2]
