VGSC-DB Target ID	NAT007
Name	Sodium channel protein type 9 subunit alpha
Synonyms	Neuroendocrine sodium channel Peripheral sodium channel 1 Sodium channel protein type IX subunit alpha Voltage-gated sodium channel subunit alpha Nav1.7
Description	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. It is a tetrodotoxin-sensitive Na+ channel isoform.Plays a role in pain mechanisms, especially in the development of inflammatory pain.
