Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Enables voltage-gated sodium channel activity. Acts upstream of or within sodium ion transport. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Predicted to be part of voltage-gated sodium channel complex. Predicted to be active in axon. Is expressed in heart; heart ventricle; and testis. Used to study hyperkalemic periodic paralysis and hypokalemic periodic paralysis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital myasthenic syndrome 16; congenital myopathy 22A; congenital myopathy 22B; hyperkalemic periodic paralysis; and paramyotonia congenita of Von Eulenburg. Orthologous to human SCN4A (sodium voltage-gated channel alpha subunit 4).
