Enables

This protein enables 4 target(s):

TargetCategoryDefinition
voltage-gated sodium channel activitymolecular functionEnables the transmembrane transfer of a sodium ion by a voltage-gated channel. A voltage-gated channel is a channel whose open state is dependent on the voltage across the membrane in which it is embedded. [GOC:mtg_transport, ISBN:0815340729]
protein bindingmolecular functionBinding to a protein. [GOC:go_curators]
ATP bindingmolecular functionBinding to ATP, adenosine 5'-triphosphate, a universally important coenzyme and enzyme regulator. [ISBN:0198506732]
sodium ion bindingmolecular functionBinding to a sodium ion (Na+). [GOC:mah]

Located In

This protein is located in 12 target(s):

TargetCategoryDefinition
plasma membranecellular componentThe membrane surrounding a cell that separates the cell from its external environment. It consists of a phospholipid bilayer and associated proteins. [ISBN:0716731363]
membranecellular componentA lipid bilayer along with all the proteins and protein complexes embedded in it and attached to it. [GOC:dos, GOC:mah, ISBN:0815316194]
Z disccellular componentPlatelike region of a muscle sarcomere to which the plus ends of actin filaments are attached. [GOC:mtg_muscle, ISBN:0815316194]
cell junctioncellular componentA cellular component that forms a specialized region of connection between two or more cells, or between a cell and the extracellular matrix, or between two membrane-bound components of a cell, such as flagella. [GOC:aruk, GOC:bc, GOC:mah, http://www.vivo.colostate.edu/hbooks/cmb/cells/pmemb/junctions_a.html, ISBN:0198506732, PMID:26820516, PMID:28096264]
axoncellular componentThe long process of a neuron that conducts nerve impulses, usually away from the cell body to the terminals and varicosities, which are sites of storage and release of neurotransmitter. [GOC:nln, ISBN:0198506732]
cytoplasmic vesiclecellular componentA vesicle found in the cytoplasm of a cell. [GOC:ai, GOC:mah, GOC:vesicles]
node of Ranviercellular componentAn axon part that is a gap in the myelin where voltage-gated sodium channels cluster and saltatory conduction is executed. [GOC:mh]
axon initial segmentcellular componentPortion of the axon proximal to the neuronal cell body, at the level of the axon hillock. The action potentials that propagate along the axon are generated at the level of this initial segment. [GOC:nln, GOC:sl, PMID:1754851, PMID:21551097]
presynaptic active zone membranecellular componentThe membrane portion of the presynaptic active zone; it is the site where docking and fusion of synaptic vesicles occurs for the release of neurotransmitters. [PMID:12812759, PMID:12923177, PMID:3152289]
parallel fiber to Purkinje cell synapsecellular componentAn excitatory synapse formed by the parallel fibers of granule cells synapsing onto the dendrites of Purkinje cells. [PMID:16623829, PMID:3209740]

Involved In

This protein is involved in 8 target(s):

TargetCategoryDefinition
sodium ion transportbiological processThe directed movement of sodium ions (Na+) into, out of or within a cell, or between cells, by means of some agent such as a transporter or pore. [GOC:ai]
nervous system developmentbiological processThe process whose specific outcome is the progression of nervous tissue over time, from its formation to its mature state. [GOC:dgh]
peripheral nervous system developmentbiological processThe process whose specific outcome is the progression of the peripheral nervous system over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The peripheral nervous system is one of the two major divisions of the nervous system. Nerves in the PNS connect the central nervous system (CNS) with sensory organs, other organs, muscles, blood vessels and glands. [GOC:go_curators, UBERON:0000010]
neuronal action potentialbiological processAn action potential that occurs in a neuron. [GOC:dph, GOC:isa_complete, GOC:tb]
optic nerve developmentbiological processThe process whose specific outcome is the progression of the optic nerve over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The sensory optic nerve originates from the bipolar cells of the retina and conducts visual information to the brainstem. The optic nerve exits the back of the eye in the orbit, enters the optic canal, and enters the central nervous system at the optic chiasm (crossing) where the nerve fibers become the optic tract just prior to entering the hindbrain. [GO_REF:0000021, GOC:cls, GOC:dgh, GOC:dph, GOC:jid, ISBN:0838580343]
myelinationbiological processThe process in which myelin sheaths are formed and maintained around neurons. Oligodendrocytes in the brain and spinal cord and Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system wrap axons with compact layers of their plasma membrane. Adjacent myelin segments are separated by a non-myelinated stretch of axon called a node of Ranvier. [GOC:dgh, GOC:mah]
sodium ion transmembrane transportbiological processA process in which a sodium ion is transported from one side of a membrane to the other by means of some agent such as a transporter or pore. [GOC:vw]
cardiac muscle cell action potential involved in contractionbiological processAn action potential that occurs in a cardiac muscle cell and is involved in its contraction. [GOC:BHF, GOC:mtg_cardiac_conduct_nov11]
