MeSH definition : A voltage-gated sodium channel subtype that mediates the sodium ion PERMEABILITY of
CARDIOMYOCYTES. Defects in the SCN5A gene, which codes for the alpha subunit of this
sodium channel, are associated with a variety of CARDIAC DISEASES that result from
loss of sodium channel function.;
MeSH synonym : NAV1.5 voltage gated sodium channel; type 5 Voltage-Gated sodium channel; type 5 voltage gated sodium channel; Voltage-Gated sodium channel type 5; voltage gated sodium channel type 5;
MeSH hyponym : Voltage-Gated sodium channel type 5 subunit alpha; Voltage Gated Sodium Channel Type 5 Subunit alpha; SCN5A Sodium Channel alpha Subunit; Voltage-Gated Na Channel Na(v)1.5a; Sodium Channel Protein Type 5 Subunit alpha; Sodium Channel, Voltage-Gated, Type V, alpha Subunit;
