MeSH definition : A family of membrane proteins that selectively conduct SODIUM ions due to changes
in the TRANSMEMBRANE POTENTIAL DIFFERENCE. They typically have a multimeric structure
with a core alpha subunit that defines the sodium channel subtype and several beta
subunits that modulate sodium channel activity.;
MeSH synonym : channels, Voltage-Gated sodium; voltage gated sodium channels; sodium channels, Voltage-Gated; sodium channels, voltage gated; Voltage-Gated Sodium Channel; Channel, Voltage-Gated Sodium; Sodium Channel, Voltage-Gated; Voltage Gated Sodium Channel;
MeSH annotation : general or unspecified; prefer specifics;
