About Scn7a

Summary

Predicted to enable voltage-gated Sodium Channel activity. Predicted to be involved in membrane depolarization during action potential; neuronal action potential; and sodium ion transmembrane transport. Predicted to act upstream of or within response to bacterium and sodium ion homeostasis. Predicted to be located in glial cell projection and plasma membrane. Predicted to be part of voltage-gated Sodium Channel complex. Predicted to be active in axon. Orthologous to human SCN7A (sodium voltage-gated channel alpha subunit 7).
