Summary: Enables voltage-gated sodium channel activity. Acts upstream of or within sodium ion transport. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Predicted to be part of voltage-gated sodium channel complex. Predicted to be active in axon. Is expressed in heart; heart ventricle; and testis. Used to study hyperkalemic periodic paralysis and hypokalemic periodic paralysis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital myasthenic syndrome 16; congenital myopathy 22A; congenital myopathy 22B; hyperkalemic periodic paralysis; and paramyotonia congenita of Von Eulenburg. Orthologous to human SCN4A (sodium voltage-gated channel alpha subunit 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

Voltage-dependent Ca(2+) release is impaired in hypokalemic periodic paralysis caused by CaV1.1-R528H but not by NaV1.4-R669H.
Title: Voltage-dependent Ca(2+) release is impaired in hypokalemic periodic paralysis caused by Ca(V)1.1-R528H but not by Na(V)1.4-R669H.
we performed an unbiased mutagenesis screen on an HD mouse model, identifying a mutation in the skeletal muscle voltage-gated sodium channel (Scn4a, termed 'draggen' mutation) as a novel disease enhancer
Title: A genetic modifier suggests that endurance exercise exacerbates Huntington's disease.
NaV1.4 null mice have latent myasthenia and a right shift of the force-stimulus relation, without evidence of periodic paralysis. Sodium current density was half that of wild-type muscle and no compensation by retained expression of the foetal NaV1.5 isoform was detected. Mice null for NaV1.4 did not survive beyond the second postnatal day.
Title: Mice with an NaV1.4 sodium channel null allele have latent myasthenia, without susceptibility to periodic paralysis.
In-depth characterization of draggen mice uncovered novel systemic metabolic abnormalities in Scn4a mouse models and provided novel insights into disease mechanisms
Title: Novel mutations in human and mouse SCN4A implicate AMPK in myotonia and periodic paralysis.
HyperKPP phenotype does not depend solely on the NaV1.4 content.
Title: Contractile abnormalities of mouse muscles expressing hyperkalemic periodic paralysis mutant NaV1.4 channels do not correlate with Na+ influx or channel content.
Homozygous R669H mice had a robust hypokalemic periodic paralysis phenotype, with transient loss of muscle excitability and weakness in low-K+ challenge, insensitivity to high-K+ challenge, dominant inheritance, and absence of myotonia.
Title: A sodium channel knockin mutant (NaV1.4-R669H) mouse model of hypokalemic periodic paralysis.
The skeletal muscle isoform of Na(v)1.4, which represents over 90% of voltage-gated sodium channels in muscle, plays an important role in development of abnormally high Na(+) concentrations found in muscle from mdx mice.
Title: Nav1.4 deregulation in dystrophic skeletal muscle leads to Na+ overload and enhanced cell death.
A distinct autosomal recessive myotonic mouse in the C57BL/6 background (line B6MT)is reported in which the Scn4a gene shows polymorphism with no functional consequences.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
