MeSH definition : A voltage-gated sodium channel subtype that mediates the sodium ion PERMEABILITY of
SKELETAL MYOCYTES. Defects in the SCN4A gene, which codes for the alpha subunit of
this sodium channel, are associated with several MYOTONIC DISORDERS.;
MeSH synonym : NAV1.4 voltage gated sodium channel; type 4 Voltage-Gated sodium channel; type 4 voltage gated sodium channel; Voltage-Gated sodium channel type 4; voltage gated sodium channel type 4;
