Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Enables sodium channel inhibitor activity. Involved in several processes, including membrane depolarization during cardiac muscle cell action potential; regulation of sodium ion transport; and regulation of ventricular cardiac muscle cell membrane repolarization. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including corticospinal neuron axon guidance; neuronal action potential propagation; and positive regulation of neuron projection development. Located in T-tubule; intercalated disc; and node of Ranvier. Part of voltage-gated sodium channel complex. Is expressed in heart and telencephalon. Used to study generalized epilepsy with febrile seizures plus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Brugada syndrome 5; developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 52; familial atrial fibrillation; and generalized epilepsy with febrile seizures plus 1. Orthologous to human SCN1B (sodium voltage-gated channel beta subunit 1).
