Summary: Enables salty taste receptor activity and sodium channel activity. Contributes to olfactory receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to salt; detection of chemical stimulus involved in sensory perception of smell; and transmission of nerve impulse. Located in sensory dendrite. Part of receptor complex. Is expressed in adult; chemosensory system; head; larval abdomen; and region of integument. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
