Sodium channel protein type 10 subunit alpha

UniProtKB accession:  Q9Y5Y9

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Tetrodotoxin-resistant channel that 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 sodium ions may pass in accordance with their electrochemical gradient. Plays a role in neuropathic pain mechanisms.
