Biological function summary
Nav1.7 acts as an essential component in neuronal excitability. It is not part of a larger protein complex but operates as an individual unit within the cell membrane. By allowing sodium ions to enter the neuron Nav1.7 contributes to the depolarization phase of action potentials. This function is critical in the propagation of electrical signals in the nervous system specifically in nociceptive neurons that are involved in pain sensation.
Pathways
Nav1.7 is integral to the nociceptive pain pathway. It works with other sodium channels such as Nav1.8 which also play roles in pain sensation. Nav1.7's activity helps to initiate and maintain action potentials facilitating the transmission of pain signals to the central nervous system. Additionally Nav1.7 is linked to neuropathic pain pathways where its function underpins the continuous firing of neurons even in the absence of external stimuli.
