Summary: Enables voltage-gated sodium channel activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including mechanosensory behavior; motor neuron axon guidance; and sodium ion transmembrane transport. Predicted to be integral component of plasma membrane. Predicted to be part of voltage-gated sodium channel complex. Predicted to be active in axon. Is expressed in heart; nervous system; otic vesicle; and trigeminal placode. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in benign familial neonatal epilepsy and developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 13. Orthologous to human SCN8A (sodium voltage-gated channel alpha subunit 8). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
