a component

INTERACTION

DNA

protein

association with neurofascin may target the sodium channels to the nodes of ranvier of developing axons and retain these channels at the nodes in mature myelinated axons

REGULATION

ASSOCIATED DISORDERS

BRGS7 , ATFB12

Other morbid association(s)

Type Gene Modification Chromosome rearrangement Protein expression Protein Function tumoral     --over   in human cancer cell lines by DNA damaging agents, as well as by overexpression of Tp53 constitutional     --other   altered expression might influence microcircuitry in the hippocampus, affecting excitability and contributing to epileptogenesis in non-hippocampal sclerosis patients (van Gassen 2009)

Susceptibility

to atrial fibrillation

Variant & Polymorphism other	A130V mutant SCN3B negated the function of wild type SCN3B, suggesting that A130V acts by a dominant negative mechanism in atrial fibrillation
