Function | This protein 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 (PubMed:1309946, PubMed:21447824, PubMed:25370050, PubMed:23420830, PubMed:23085483, PubMed:26279430, PubMed:26392562, PubMed:26776555). It is a tetrodotoxin-resistant Na(+) channel isoform (PubMed:1309946). This channel is responsible for the initial upstroke of the action potential. Channel inactivation is regulated by intracellular calcium levels (PubMed:19074138). |
Cellular Location | Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:D0E0C2}. Cytoplasm, perinuclear region. Cell membrane, sarcolemma, T- tubule {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P15389}. Cell junction {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P15389}. Note=RANGRF promotes trafficking to the cell membrane. Colocalizes with PKP2 at intercalated disks in the heart (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P15389, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21447824, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23420830} |

Background
The protein encoded by this gene is an integral membraneprotein and tetrodotoxin-resistant voltage-gated sodium channelsubunit. This protein is found primarily in cardiac muscle and isresponsible for the initial upstroke of the action potential in anelectrocardiogram. Defects in this gene are a cause of long QTsyndrome type 3 (LQT3), an autosomal dominant cardiac disease.Alternative splicing results in several transcript variantsencoding different isoforms.
