Function
Regulatory subunit of multiple voltage-gated sodium channel complexes that play important roles in excitable membranes in brain, heart and skeletal muscle (PubMed:1375395, PubMed:8282123, PubMed:8021275, PubMed:15178439, PubMed:28012039). Enhances the presence of the pore-forming alpha subunit at the cell surface and modulates channel gating characteristics and the rate of channel inactivation (PubMed:1375395, PubMed:8282123, PubMed:8021275, PubMed:15178439, PubMed:28012039). Modulates the activity of a variety of pore-forming alpha subunits, such as SCN1A, SCN2A, SCN3A, SCN4A, SCN5A and SCN10A (PubMed:1375395, PubMed:8282123, PubMed:8021275, PubMed:15178439, PubMed:28012039).
