Entry terms

  • Channel, Voltage-Gated Sodium
  • Sodium Channels, Voltage Gated
  • Sodium Channels, Voltage-Gated
  • Sodium Channel, Voltage-Gated
  • Voltage Gated Sodium Channel
  • Voltage-Gated Sodium Channel

Note

  • general or unspecified; prefer specifics

Scope note

  • A family of membrane proteins that selectively conduct SODIUM ions due to changes in the TRANSMEMBRANE POTENTIAL DIFFERENCE. They typically have a multimeric structure with a core alpha subunit that defines the sodium channel subtype and several beta subunits that modulate sodium channel activity.
