Sodium channel protein type 10 subunit alpha

UniProt Q9Y5Y9 Organism Homo sapiens Gene SCN10A

Also known as: SCN10A

Function

Tetrodotoxin-resistant channel that 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 sodium ions may pass in accordance with their electrochemical gradient. Plays a role in neuropathic pain mechanisms.
