Gene information for SCN1B (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID6324
Official gene symbolSCN1B
Full namesodium channel, voltage-gated, type I, beta
Aliases,GEFSP1,
Gene summaryVoltage-gated sodium channels are heteromeric proteins that function in the generation and propagation of action potentials in muscle and neuronal cells. They are composed of one alpha and two beta subunits, where the alpha subunit provides channel activity and the beta-1 subunit modulates the kinetics of channel inactivation. This gene encodes a sodium channel beta-1 subunit. Mutations in this gene result in generalized epilepsy with febrile seizures plus, Brugada syndrome 5, and defects in cardiac conduction. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
