Gene data

SCN9A

Name: sodium voltage-gated channel alpha subunit 9
Type: protein-coding
Aliases: ETHA, FEB3B, GEFSP7, HSAN2D, NE-NA, NENA, Nav1.7, PN1, SFNP

This gene encodes a voltage-gated sodium channel which plays a significant role in nociception signaling. Mutations in this gene have been associated with primary erythermalgia, channelopathy-associated insensitivity to pain, and paroxysmal extreme pain disorder. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2009].
