SCN11A (Sodium channel protein type 11 subunit alpha) is a gene. The public catalogues list it as a drug target, and an approved or late-stage drug is recorded against it. This dossier gathers the 0 products (0 approved), 0 trials, 0 pathways and 0 resistance routes in the corpus that involve it, with external identifiers so it can be joined to UniProt, ChEMBL, Open Targets and the rest of biology.

Biology

Sodium channel mediating the voltage-dependent sodium ion permeability of excitable membranes. Assuming opened or closed conformations in response to the voltage difference across the membrane, the protein forms a sodium-selective channel through which sodium ions may pass in accordance with their electrochemical gradient. Involved in membrane depolarisation during action potential in nociceptors which function as key relay stations for the electrical transmission of pain signals from the periphery to the central nervous system. Also involved in rapid BDNF-evoked neuronal depolarisation. Location: Cell membrane (UniProt). Locus 3p22.2 (HGNC).
