Background： This gene encodes a member of the sodium channel alpha subunit gene family. The encoded protein forms the ion pore region of the voltage-gated sodium channel. This protein is essential for the rapid membrane depolarization that occurs during the formation of the action potential in excitable neurons. Mutations in this gene are associated with mental retardation, pancerebellar atrophy and ataxia. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, May 2010],

Function：domain:The sequence contains 4 internal repeats, each with 5 hydrophobic segments (S1,S2,S3,S5,S6) and one positively charged segment (S4). Segments S4 are probably the voltage-sensors and are characterized by a series of positively charged amino acids at every third position.,function: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.,PTM:May be ubiquitinated by NEDD4L; which would promote its endocytosis.,similarity:Belongs to the sodium channel family.,similarity:Contains 1 IQ domain.,subunit:Interacts with NEDD4 and NEDD4L.,

Subcellular Location：Cell membrane ; Multi-pass membrane protein . Cell projection, axon . Mainly localizes to the axon initial segment. .; [Isoform 5]: Cytoplasmic vesicle. Some vesicles are localized adjacent to melanoma invadopodia and macrophage podosomes. Does not localize to the plasma membrane.

Expression：Expressed in the hippocampus with increased expression in epileptic tissue compared to normal adjacent tissue (at protein level) (PubMed:28842554). Isoform 5: Expressed in non-neuronal tissues, such as monocytes/macrophages.
