UniProtKB accession:  Q9UQD0

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Pore-forming subunit of a voltage-gated sodium channel complex assuming opened or closed conformations in response to the voltage difference across membranes and through which sodium ions selectively pass along their electrochemical gradient (PubMed:24874546, PubMed:25239001, PubMed:25725044, PubMed:26900580, PubMed:29726066, PubMed:33245860, PubMed:36696443, PubMed:36823201). Contributes to neuronal excitability by regulating action potential threshold and propagation (PubMed:24874546, PubMed:25239001, PubMed:25725044, PubMed:26900580, PubMed:29726066, PubMed:33245860, PubMed:36696443, PubMed:36823201).
