MeSH definition : A voltage-gated sodium channel subtype that mediates the sodium ion permeability of
excitable membranes. Defects in the SCN2A gene which codes for the alpha subunit of
this sodium channel are associated with benign familial infantile seizures type 3,
and early infantile epileptic encephalopathy type 11.;
MeSH synonym : NAV1.2 voltage gated sodium channel; type 2 Voltage-Gated sodium channel; type 2 voltage gated sodium channel; Voltage-Gated sodium channel type 2; voltage gated sodium channel type 2;
MeSH hyponym : Voltage-Gated sodium channel type 2 subunit alpha; Voltage Gated Sodium Channel Type 2 Subunit alpha; Voltage-Gated Sodium Channel Type 2 alpha Subunit; Voltage Gated Sodium Channel Type 2 alpha Subunit; Sodium Channel, Voltage-Gated, Type II, alpha 1 Subunit; Sodium Channel Protein Type 2 Subunit alpha; Sodium Channel, Voltage-Gated, Type II, alpha 1; NAV1.2 alpha Subunit; SCN2A Sodium Channel alpha Subunit;
