  • voltage-gated sodium channel activity involved in cardiac muscle cell action potential
Processes
  • AV node cell action potential
  • cardiac muscle cell action potential involved in contraction
  • cardiac muscle contraction
  • membrane depolarization during cardiac muscle cell action potential
  • positive regulation of sodium ion transport
  • regulation of heart rate by cardiac conduction
  • regulation of ventricular cardiac muscle cell membrane repolarization
  • sodium ion transport

  • intercalated disc
General FunctionVoltage-gated sodium channel activity involved in cardiac muscle cell action potential
Specific FunctionModulates channel gating kinetics. Causes negative shifts in the voltage dependence of activation of certain alpha sodium channels, but does not affect the voltage dependence of inactivation. Modulates the suceptibility of the sodium channel to inhibition by toxic peptides from spider, scorpion, wasp and sea anemone venom.
