Recombinant Human Sodium channel protein type 1 subunit alpha (SCN1A), Truncated

Uniprot Id

P35498

Target Species

Human

Target Name

SCN1A

Target Full Name

Sodium channel protein type 1 subunit alpha

Target Function

Mediates the voltage-dependent sodium ion permeability of excitable membranes. Assuming opened or closed conformations in response to the voltage difference across the membrane, the protein forms a sodium-selective channel through which Na(+) ions may pass in accordance with their electrochemical gradient. Plays a key role in brain, probably by regulating the moment when neurotransmitters are released in neurons. Involved in sensory perception of mechanical pain: activation in somatosensory neurons induces pain without neurogenic inflammation and produces hypersensitivity to mechanical, but not thermal stimuli.

Target Involvement

Generalized epilepsy with febrile seizures plus 2 (GEFS+2); Epileptic encephalopathy, early infantile, 6 (EIEE6); Intractable childhood epilepsy with generalized tonic-clonic seizures (ICEGTC); Migraine, familial hemiplegic, 3 (FHM3); Febrile seizures, familial, 3A (FEB3A)

Target Subcellular Location

Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
