SCN11A wt Allele

**Semantic type:** Gene or Genome

**Definition:** Human SCN11A wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 3p22.2 and is approximately 206 kb in length. This allele, which encodes sodium channel protein type 11 subunit alpha protein, is involved in sodium transport, membrane polarization and nociception. Mutation of the gene is associated with familial episodic pain syndrome 3 and hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy type 7.
