| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Predicted to enable sodium ion binding activity and voltage-gated sodium channel activity. Involved in behavioral response to pain; circadian rhythm; and detection of stimulus involved in sensory perception. Acts upstream of or within inflammatory response; post-embryonic development; and response to toxic substance. 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 several structures, including brain; gut; immune system; male reproductive gland or organ; and respiratory system epithelium. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in erythromelalgia and paroxysmal extreme pain disorder. Orthologous to human SCN9A (sodium voltage-gated channel alpha subunit 9). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit prenatal/neonatal lethality. Mice homozygous for a knock-in allele exhibit increased susceptibility to electrically induced seizures.
