The encoded protein forms the ion pore region of the voltage-gated sodium channel. This protein is essential for the rapid membrane depolarization that occurs during the formation of the action potential in excitable neurons. Mutations in this gene are associated with cognitive disability, pancerebellar atrophy and ataxia. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, May 2010]. * **UniProt Summary**: N/A |Ion trans| |Na trans assoc| |DUF3451| |voltage-gated sodium channel complex| |node of Ranvier| |voltage-gated sodium channel activity| |axon initial segment| |neuronal action potential| |membrane depolarization during action potential| |voltage-gated ion channel activity| |membrane depolarization| |transmission of nerve impulse| |peripheral nervous system development| |sodium ion transmembrane transport| |action potential| |myelination| |ensheathment of neurons| |axon ensheathment| |Z disc| |multicellular organismal signaling| |sodium ion transport| |cytoplasmic vesicle| |axon| |monovalent inorganic cation transport| |regulation of membrane potential| |regulation of ion transmembrane transport| |inorganic cation transmembrane transport| |regulation of transmembrane transport| |cation transmembrane transport| |metal ion transport| |inorganic ion transmembrane transport| |regulation of ion transport| |cation transport| |ion transmembrane transport| |transmembrane transport| |ion transport| |nervous system process| |ATP binding| |regulation of transport| |system process| \\ === CRISPR Data === ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp348|Cyclosporin-A 3μM R07 exp348]]|-2.15| |[[:results:exp317|Geldanamycin 0.015 to 0.05μM on day4 R07 exp317]]|-2.06| |[[:results:exp244|SB743921 0.001μM R05 exp244]]|-1.72| |[[:results:exp490|Hydroxychloroquine 30μM R08 exp490]]|1.85| |[[:results:exp37|Wortmannin 0.5μM R00 exp37]]|1.86| No correlation found to any other genes in chemogenomics.
