Gene:
sodium channel, voltage-gated, type II, alpha 2
Gene ID:
197172
Symbol:
SCN2A2
Species:
1000
Description:
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.
