Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 6332
Gene name Sodium voltage-gated channel alpha subunit 7
Gene symbol SCN7A
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
NaGNav2.1Nav2.2SCN6A
Chromosome 2
Chromosome location 2q24.3
Summary This gene encodes one of the many voltage-gated sodium channel proteins. For proper functioning of neurons and muscles during action potentials, voltage-gated sodium channels direct sodium ion diffusion for membrane depolarization. This sodium channel pro
