Gene: SCN3A (sodium channel, voltage-gated, type III, alpha subunit) Homo sapiens

Symbol:

SCN3A

Name:

sodium channel, voltage-gated, type III, alpha subunit

Description:

Voltage-gated sodium channels are transmembrane glycoprotein complexes composed of a large alpha subunit with 24 transmembrane domains and one or more regulatory beta subunits. They are responsible for the generation and propagation of action potentials in neurons and muscle. This gene encodes one member of the sodium channel alpha subunit gene family, and is found in a cluster of five alpha subunit genes on chromosome 2. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Type:
