Full name: sodium voltage-gated channel alpha subunit 9

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: ETHA; FEB3B; GEFSP7; HSAN2D; NE-NA; NENA; Nav1.7; PN1; SFNP

Summary: 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]
