Description

sodium voltage-gated channel alpha subunit 4

Gene Summary

Predicted to enable voltage-gated sodium channel activity. Involved in choline transport; potassium ion transport; and sodium ion transmembrane transport. Located in plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital myasthenic syndrome 16; congenital myopathy 22A; congenital myopathy 22B; hyperkalemic periodic paralysis; and paramyotonia congenita of Von Eulenburg. Orthologous to human SCN4A (sodium voltage-gated channel alpha subunit 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]
