The protein encoded by this gene is an integral membrane
protein and tetrodotoxin-resistant voltage-gated sodium channel
subunit. This protein is found primarily in cardiac muscle and is
responsible for the initial upstroke of the action potential in an
electrocardiogram. Defects in this gene are a cause of long QT
syndrome type 3 (LQT3), an autosomal dominant cardiac disease.
Alternative splicing results in several transcript variants
encoding different isoforms.1) Liu, M., et al. Circ. Res. 107(8):967-974(2010)
