Entrez gene summary

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]

Staining summary

Strong membranous staining was observed in the superficial layers of squamous epithelia. The gastrointestinal tract and gall bladder showed moderate membranous staining while renal tubuli and urinary bladder displayed membranous cytoplasmic staining. Remaining normal cells were weakly stained or negative.
