| Protein existence | Evidence at protein level |
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. In macrophages, isoform 5 may participate in the control of podosome and invadopodia formation. Ref.8 Ref.9 |
| Subunit structure | Interacts with FGF13; may regulate SCN8A activity By similarity. Interacts with NEDD4 and NEDD4L. Ref.6 |
| Subcellular location | |
| Tissue specificity | Expressed in brain, cerebellum and spinal cord. Isoform 5 may be expressed in non-neuronal tissues, such as peritoneal macrophages. Ref.1 Ref.2 Ref.8 |
| Domain | The sequence contains 4 internal repeats, each with 5 hydrophobic segments (S1,S2,S3,S5,S6) and one positively charged segment (S4). Segments S4 are probably the voltage-sensors and are characterized by a series of positively charged amino acids at every third position. Ref.9 |
| Post-translational modification | May be ubiquitinated by NEDD4L; which would promote its endocytosis By similarity. |
| Involvement in disease | Defects in Scn8a are the cause of motor endplate disease (med). Med is a recessive neuromuscular disorder that is characterized by lack of signal transmission at the neuromuscular junction, excess preterminal arborization and degeneration of cerebellar Purkinje cells. It produces early onset progressive paralysis of hind limbs, severe muscle atrophy and juvenile lethality. Ref.2 Ref.4 Ref.10 Defects in Scn8a are the cause of the jolting mutant (medjo), a mild form of motor endplate disease which is characterized by the absence of spontaneous, regular, simple discharges from Purkinje cells. After 3 weeks of age, jolting mice are unsteady and have wide-based gait and a rhythmical tremor of head and neck induced by attempted movement. Ref.2 Ref.4 Ref.10 Defects in Scn8a are a cause of degenerating muscle (dmu). Dmu is an autosomal recessive neuromuscular disorder that is characterized by skeletal and cardiac muscle degeneration. It produces early onset progressive loss of mobility of the hind limbs and subsequent lethality in the first month of life. Ref.2 Ref.4 Ref.10 |
| Sequence similarities | Belongs to the sodium channel (TC 1.A.1.10) family. Nav1.6/SCN8A subfamily. [View classification] |
