SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION

plasma membrane

basic FUNCTION	mediating the voltage-dependent sodium ion permeability of excitable membranes
	playing a role in pain mechanisms, especially in the development of inflammatory pain
	with SCN2A, and SCN3A, likely account for the tetrodotoxin-sensitive sodium currents in taste receptor cells (Gao 2009)
	essential and non-redundant requirement for nociception
	acting as a critical element of peripheral nociception
	plays an important role in cell migration, endocytosis, and secretion and have a potential role in the aortic progression of intimal hyperplasia after balloon injury (Meguro 2009)
	play a crucial role in pain sensation and in nociception (Chatelier 2008)
	is not only necessary for pain sensation but is also an essential requirement for odour perception

CELLULAR PROCESS

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

PATHWAY

metabolism

signaling

neurotransmission

a component

beyond the thermosensors, the FGF13c/SCN9A omplex is essential for sustaining the transmission of noxious heat signals

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	interacts with NEDD4 and NEDD4L
	DPYSL2 protein SUMOylation modulates SCN9A channel trafficking
	diverse modifications of DPYSL2 cross-talk to control SCN9A activity
	FGF13 interacted with the sodium channel SCN9A in a heat-facilitated manner (FGF13 increased SCN9A sodium currents and maintained the membrane localization of SCN9A during noxious heat stimulation, enabling the sustained firing of action potentials)
