Protein
Sodium channel subunit beta-4
Function
Modulates channel gating kinetics. Causes negative shifts in the voltage dependence of activation of certain alpha sodium channels, but does not affect the voltage dependence of inactivation. Modulates the susceptibility of the sodium channel to inhibition by toxic peptides from spider, scorpion, wasp and sea anemone venom (By similarity).
Similarity
Belongs to the sodium channel auxiliary subunit SCN4B (TC 8.A.17) family.
