Function | Pore-forming subunit of Nav1.5, a voltage-gated sodium (Nav) channel that directly mediates the depolarizing phase of action potentials in excitable membranes. Navs, also called VGSCs (voltage- gated sodium channels) or VDSCs (voltage-dependent sodium channels), operate by switching between closed and open conformations depending on the voltage difference across the membrane. In the open conformation they allow Na(+) ions to selectively pass through the pore, along their electrochemical gradient. The influx of Na(+) ions provokes membrane depolarization, initiating the propagation of electrical signals throughout cells and tissues (PubMed:1309946, PubMed:21447824, PubMed:23085483, PubMed:23420830, PubMed:25370050, PubMed:26279430, PubMed:26392562, PubMed:26776555). Nav1.5 is the predominant sodium channel expressed in myocardial cells and it is responsible for the initial upstroke of the action potential in cardiac myocytes, thereby initiating the heartbeat (PubMed:11234013, PubMed:11804990, PubMed:12569159, PubMed:1309946). Required for normal electrical conduction including formation of the infranodal ventricular conduction system and normal action potential configuration, as a result of its interaction with XIRP2 (By similarity). |
Cellular Location | Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P15389}. Cytoplasm, perinuclear region. Cell membrane, sarcolemma, T- tubule {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P15389}. Cell junction {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P15389}. Note=RANGRF promotes trafficking to the cell membrane. Colocalizes with PKP2 at intercalated disks in the heart (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P15389, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21447824, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23420830} |
Tissue Location | Found in jejunal circular smooth muscle cells (at protein level). Expressed in human atrial and ventricular cardiac muscle but not in adult skeletal muscle, brain, myometrium, liver, or spleen. Isoform 4 is expressed in brain. |
