Function

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 (PubMed:7720699, PubMed:17167479, PubMed:25240195, PubMed:26680203, PubMed:15385606, PubMed:16988069, PubMed:17145499, PubMed:19369487, PubMed:24311784). It is a tetrodotoxin-sensitive Na(+) channel isoform (PubMed:7720699). Plays a role in pain mechanisms, especially in the development of inflammatory pain (PubMed:17167479, PubMed:17145499, PubMed:19369487, PubMed:24311784). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15178348, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15385606, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16988069, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17145499, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17167479, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19369487, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24311784, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25240195, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26680203, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7720699}.;

Disease

DISEASE: Primary erythermalgia (PERYTHM) [MIM:133020]: Autosomal dominant disease characterized by recurrent episodes of severe pain associated with redness and warmth in the feet or hands. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14985375, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15385606, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15955112, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15958509, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16216943, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16392115, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16702558, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16988069, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18945915, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19369487, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24311784}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Indifference to pain, congenital, autosomal recessive (CIP) [MIM:243000]: A disorder characterized by congenital inability to perceive any form of pain, in any part of the body. All other sensory modalities are preserved and the peripheral and central nervous systems are apparently intact. Patients perceive the sensations of touch, warm and cold temperature, proprioception, tickle and pressure, but not painful stimuli. There is no evidence of a motor or sensory neuropathy, either axonal or demyelinating. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20635406}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Paroxysmal extreme pain disorder (PEPD) [MIM:167400]: Autosomal dominant paroxysmal disorder of pain and autonomic dysfunction. The distinctive features are paroxysmal episodes of burning pain in the rectal, ocular, and mandibular areas accompanied by autonomic manifestations such as skin flushing. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17145499, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18945915, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25285947}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Generalized epilepsy with febrile seizures plus 7 (GEFS+7) [MIM:613863]: A rare autosomal dominant, familial condition with incomplete penetrance and large intrafamilial variability. Patients display febrile seizures persisting sometimes beyond the age of 6 years and/or a variety of afebrile seizure types. This disease combines febrile seizures, generalized seizures often precipitated by fever at age 6 years or more, and partial seizures, with a variable degree of severity. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19763161}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Febrile seizures, familial, 3B (FEB3B) [MIM:613863]: Seizures associated with febrile episodes in childhood without any evidence of intracranial infection or defined pathologic or traumatic cause. It is a common condition, affecting 2-5% of children aged 3 months to 5 years. The majority are simple febrile seizures (generally defined as generalized onset, single seizures with a duration of less than 30 minutes). Complex febrile seizures are characterized by focal onset, duration greater than 30 minutes, and/or more than one seizure in a 24 hour period. The likelihood of developing epilepsy following simple febrile seizures is low. Complex febrile seizures are associated with a moderately increased incidence of epilepsy. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19763161}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.;
