protein coding gene
Automated Description
Predicted to enable voltage-gated sodium channel activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including neuronal action potential; regulation of generation of precursor metabolites and energy; and swimming behavior. 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 and nervous system. Used to study Dravet syndrome; anxiety disorder; and epilepsy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in epilepsy (multiple); episodic ataxia type 9; erythromelalgia; familial hemiplegic migraine 3; and paroxysmal extreme pain disorder. Orthologous to several human genes including SCN3A (sodium voltage-gated channel alpha subunit 3).
