SCN3A (human), recombinant protein

Protein function: Mediates the voltage-dependent sodium ion permeability of excitable membranes. Assuming opened or closed conformations in response to the voltage difference across the membrane, forms a sodium- selective channel through which Na(+) ions may pass in accordance with their electrochemical gradient (PubMed:24157691, PubMed:28235671, PubMed:29466837). May contribute to the regulation of serotonin/5- hydroxytryptamine release by enterochromaffin cells. In pancreatic endocrine cells, required for both glucagon and glucose- induced insulin secretion.
