MeSH definition : A voltage-gated sodium channel subtype found widely expressed in nociceptive primary
sensory neurons. Defects in the SCN9A gene, which codes for the alpha subunit of this
sodium channel, are associated with several pain sensation-related disorders.;
MeSH synonym : NAV1.7 voltage gated sodium channel; type 9 Voltage-Gated sodium channel; type 9 voltage gated sodium channel; Voltage-Gated sodium channel type 9; voltage gated sodium channel type 9; peripheral sodium channel 1;
MeSH hyponym : Voltage-Gated sodium channel type 9 subunit alpha; Voltage Gated Sodium Channel Type 9 Subunit alpha; SCN9A Sodium Channel alpha Subunit;
