Sodium channel protein type 4 subunit alpha is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SCN4A gene.
Voltage-gated sodium channels are transmembrane glycoprotein complexes composed of a large alpha subunit with 24 transmembrane domains and one or more regulatory beta subunits. They are responsible for the generation and propagation of action potentials in neurons and muscle. This gene encodes one member of the sodium channel alpha subunit gene family. It is expressed in skeletal muscle, and mutations in this gene have been linked to several myotonia and periodic paralysis disorders. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].

Sodium channel protein type 4 subunit alpha is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SCN4A gene.
The Nav1.4 voltage-gated sodium channel is encoded by the gene. Mutations in the gene are associated with hypokalemic periodic paralysis, hyperkalemic periodic paralysis, paramyotonia congenita, and potassium-aggravated myotonia.
