1.A.1.10.22
The Na+-activated Na+ channel (Nax; also called SCN7A; of 1737 aas and ~24 TMSs) and salt-inducible kinase (SIK, see TC# 8.A.104.1.14) are stimulated by increases in local Na+ concentration, affecting the Na+,K+-ATPase activity (see TC# 3.A.3.1.1). It 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 (Gonsalez et al. 2023). Rare SCG genetic variants may contribute to the development of painful neuropathy (Almomani et al. 2023).
