SCN8A tissues
SCN8A [ENSP00000346534]
Sodium channel protein type 8 subunit alpha; 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. ; Belongs to the sodium channel (TC 1.A.1.10) family. Nav1.6/SCN8A subfamily.
