    text
  • SCN5A and DLG1 are both localized at intercalated discs
  • localizes at lateral membranes of cardiomyocytes with dystrophin and syntrophin
  • basic FUNCTION
  • sodium voltage-gated channel, type V, tetradotoxin-resistant, playing a critical role for heart excitability and conduction
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • SNTA1-based NOS1 complex attached to SCN5A is a key regulator of sodium current
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • interacting with NEDD4L (acting on SCN5A by decreasing the channel density at the cell surface)
  • interacting with TCAP
  • TBX5 drives SCN5A expression to regulate cardiac conduction system function
  • GJA1 associates with SCN5A in the cardiomyocyte perinexus
  • SCN5A is post-translationally modified by arginine methylation, by PRMT3 and PRMT5
  • N-linked glycosylation of SCNB2 is required for surface localization of SCN5A, a property that is often defective in inherited cardiac arrhythmias
