SCN2B
Description
The SCN2B (sodium voltage-gated channel beta subunit 2) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 11.
Sodium channel subunit beta-2 is a protein encoded by the SCN2B gene in humans. It is involved in the formation and regulation of sodium channels, which are essential for nerve impulse transmission.
SCN2B plays a key role in the assembly, expression, and function of the sodium channel complex. Its presence increases the surface area of the plasma membrane, leading to microvilli formation. SCN2B may also interact with TNR, suggesting a role in clustering and regulating sodium channel activity at nodes of Ranvier.
SCN2B is also known as ATFB14.
