Gene Symbol:

SCN10A Homo sapiens

Full name:

sodium voltage-gated channel alpha subunit 10

Synonyms:

FEPS2, Nav1.8, PN3, SNS, hPN3, sodium channel protein type 10 subunit alpha, peripheral nerve sodium channel 3, sodium channel protein type X subunit alpha, sodium channel, voltage-gated, type X, alpha polypeptide, sodium channel, voltage-gated, type X, alpha subunit, voltage-gated sodium channel subunit alpha Nav1.8

Chr 3: 38713841-38810505

Description:

The protein encoded by this gene is a tetrodotoxin-resistant voltage-gated sodium channel alpha subunit. The properties of the channel formed by the encoded transmembrane protein can be altered by interaction with different beta subunits. This protein may be involved in the onset of pain associated with peripheral neuropathy. Alternative splicing r...

View Full Description

The protein encoded by this gene is a tetrodotoxin-resistant voltage-gated sodium channel alpha subunit. The properties of the channel formed by the encoded transmembrane protein can be altered by interaction with different beta subunits. This protein may be involved in the onset of pain associated with peripheral neuropathy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
