Summary: Enables ammonium channel activity. Involved in ammonium transmembrane transport; cellular response to ammonium ion; and detection of chemical stimulus involved in sensory perception of smell. Is active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in adult antennal sensillum; appendage; and cuboidal/columnar epithelium. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
