About Scn2a
This gene has 10 transcripts (splice variants), 130 orthologues, 26 paralogues and is associated with 18 phenotypes. Biased expression in cerebellum adult (RPKM 21.), cortex adult (RPKM 18.1) and 4 other tissues.
Summary
Voltage-gated sodium channels are Transmembrane Glycoprotein complexes composed of a large alpha subunit with four repeat domains, each of which is composed of six membrane-spanning segments, and one or more regulatory beta subunits. Voltage-gated sodium channels are responsible for the generation and propagation of action potentials in neurons and muscle. This gene encodes one member of the Sodium Channel alpha subunit gene family. In humans, variants of this gene are associated with seizure disorders and autism spectrum disorder. Mice homozygous for a knockout mutation die with severe hypoxia and extensive neuronal cell death, while gain of function mutations result in progressive seizure disorder. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2016]
