General annotation (Comments)

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 By similarity.

Subunit structure

Interacts with NEDD4 and NEDD4L By similarity. Interacts with FGF13; may regulate SCN8A activity. Ref.2

Subcellular location

Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein By similarity.

Tissue specificity

Isoform 1 is highly expressed in brain, moderately in spinal cord, and at low levels in dorsal root ganglia, nodose ganglia and superior cervical ganglia. Not detected in sciatic nerve and non-neuronal tissues. Isoform 2 is hardly detectable, if at all, in brain, expressed at low levels in spinal cord and at highest levels in dorsal root ganglia. Ref.1

Post-translational modification

May be ubiquitinated by NEDD4L; which would promote its endocytosis By similarity.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the sodium channel (TC 1.A.1.10) family. Nav1.6/SCN8A subfamily. [View classification]

Contains 1 IQ domain.

Alternative products

This entry describes 2 isoforms produced by alternative splicing. [Align] [Select]
Isoform 1 (identifier: O88420-1)

Also known as: PN4;

This isoform has been chosen as the 'canonical' sequence. All positional information in this entry refers to it. This is also the sequence that appears in the downloadable versions of the entry.
Isoform 2 (identifier: O88420-2)

Also known as: PN4a;

The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows:
     664-664: E → EVKIDKAATDS
Note: May be due to competing donor splice site.
